Pyridine → HCID 22716470, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2-(4-[2-fluoroethyl]-3-oxopiperazin-1-yl)fluorobenzene (2.6 g) is dissolved in dry dichloromethane (50 ml) under argon. Pyridine (1.03 ml) is added, and the mixture cooled to -20°. Benzyl chloroformate (1.6 ml) is added and the mixture stirred for 10 minutes at -20°, before allowing the temperature to rise to 20-25° over 1.5 hours. The solvents are removed and the residue is dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying over magnesium sulfate and removal of the solvent, the residue is chromatographed (silica, eluting with a gradient increasing in polarity from 0 to 5% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 5-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-(4-[2-fluoroethyl]-3-oxopiperazin-1-yl)fluorobenzene.
