1-Methylpiperazine → Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.37 cm3 of N-methylpiperazine in solution in 5 cm3 of dioxane is added, under an argon atmosphere, to 0.50 g of (−)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride in solution at −15° C. in 20 cm3 of dioxane. After 1.25 hours at 20° C., the reaction mixture is filtered, the solid is washed with 20 cm3 of diethyl ether, drained, and then dried under reduced pressure (2,7 kPa) at 20° C., to give 0.65 g of (1R,2R)-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)carbonyl]-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid in the form of a white solid.
