Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-[2-Amino-1-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-ethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (209) (0.38 g, 1.13 mmol) in a 1:1 mixture of THF/H2O (30 mL) was added NaOH (0.05 g, 1.24 mmol) and methyl chloroformate (0.11 g, 1.13 mmol ). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with EtOAc (200 mL) and washed with H2O (100 mL) and brine (100 mL). The organic phase was concentrated to dryness. The crude material was purified by chromatography (silica gel 60 mesh, eluting with 50% hexanes/50% EtOAc) yielding 0.23 g (50%) pure product.
