Reaction Steps

Benzyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate (2.0 g, 9.08 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (2.5 g, 10.8 mmol) and triethylamine (1.9 mL, 13.8 mmol) were dissolved in 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for two hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was mixed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic layers were sequentially washed with water and brine in this order. The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Fuji Silysia, NH Silica gel; ethyl acetate:hexane-50:50) to give 4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)piperazin-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (3.1 g) as a colorless oil.
