1-Methylpiperazine → 2-Isocyano-1-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared in accordance with Method B with methyl isocyanoacetate (1.0 g, 10.09 mmol) and N-methylpiperazine (1.37 mL, 15.14 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at RT and then concentrated. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL) and evaporated. The residue was coevaporated three times with a mixture of CH2Cl2:cyclohexane=50:50 (3×10 mL). After drying 2-isocyano-1-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethanone VIB 01128 was obtained as yellow solid (1.67 g, 99% yield).
