Trifluoroacetic acid → (3S)-benzyl 4-(2-hydroxy-2-((R)-3-methyl-1-oxoisochroman-6-yl)ethyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of (3S)-tert-butyl 4-(2-hydroxy-2-((R)-3-methyl-1-oxoisochroman-6-yl)ethyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (2630 mg, 6.25 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL, 130 mmol) at rt for 1 h. After removing the volatile the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (100 mL). To the above solution was added triethylamine (4.36 mL, 31.3 mmol) and benzyl chloroformate (0.986 mL, 6.56 mmol) at 0° C. for 0.5 h. The reaction was quenched by water followed by addition of saturated sodium carbonate. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and the residue was purified on Biotage using 40-100% EtOAc/hexane to give the title compound: LC/MS: (M+1)+: 455.10.
