8-Quinolinecarboxylic acid → 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2(S)-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(8-quinolinylcarbonyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-Quinoline carboxylic acid (1.00 g, 5.78 mmol), EDC.HCl (1.22 g, 6.38 mmol), HOBT (1.77 g, 13.1 mmol) in DMF at pH 7 (adjusted with triethylamine) was stirred at 20° C. for 15 min. 1-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2(S)-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine (1.33 g, 6.71 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred overnight. DMF was removed in vacuo, and the residue taken up in 1:1:1 THF, methanol, and 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide. This was stirred at 20° C. for 72 h. The volatiles were removed in vacuo, and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate. The title compound was obtained as a foam (1.2 g).
