Sodium Hydroxide → 2-(4-BOC-PIPERAZINYL)-2-PHENYLACETIC ACID

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-(Methoxycarbonyl-phenyl-methyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (151) (30.4 g, 87.25 mmol) in EtOH (200 mL) was added of 1N NaOH (192 mL) and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction mixture is then concentrated to dryness. The resulting residue is taken up in H2O and acidified slowly at 0° C. with 10% NaSO4 (pH=5–6). The desired product was then extracted into EtOAc. The organic phase was then concentrated to dryness yielding 24.3 g (86%) product.
