Potassium Carbonate → (2S,5R)-4-(5-Methoxycarbonyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoronicotinic acid methyl ester (200 mg, 1.29 mmol) and (2S,5R)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester was heated at 120° C. in DMSO (2.0 mL) with potassium carbonate (178 mg, 1.29 mmol) for 2 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (20.0 mL) and water (5.0 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2×5.0 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the title intermediate as a yellowish oil.
