Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (2.75 g, 14.8 mmol), 1-bromo-3-propanol (1.43 mL, 16.2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.25 mL, 27.5 mmol) in acetonitrile (75 mL) was heated at 95° C. for 4 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was taken up in dichloromethane (300 mL) and washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Chromatography on silica gel with methanol in dichloromethane (0-10%) gave a tan solid 2.88 g (80% yield).
