2,3-Dimethylbenzoic acid → HCID 51306403, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate(0.50 g, 2.6 mmol), 2,3-dimethylbenzoic acid (0.44 g, 2.9 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) (0.45 g, 2.9 mmol) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino- propyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl) (0.56 g, 2.9 mmol) were added to dry, degassed dimethylformamide (7 mL). The pH of the reaction was adjusted to 7 with triethylamine, and the reaction stirred for 2 h. The dimethylformamide (DMF) was distilled in vacuo, and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with 2% aqueous potassium hydrogen sulfate, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluant. The title compound was obtained as a white solid, NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 7.17 (1H, d, J=7 Hz), 7.13 (1H, t, J=7 Hz), 6.98 (1H, d, J=7 Hz), 3.77 (2H, m), 3.51 (2H, m), 3.32 (2H, t, J=5 Hz), 3.19 (2H, m), 2.28 (3H, s), 2.18 (3H, s), 1.45 (9H, s).
