Reaction Steps

A mixture of cyanuric chloride (3.86 g, 20.9 mmol, 1 equivalent) in CH3CN/H2O (1/1, 200 ml) was cooled to 0° C. Methylamine solution in water (40% (w), 1.83 ml, 20.9 mmol, 1 equivalent) was added, followed by 1N NaOH (20.9 ml, 20.9 mmol, 1 equivalent). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min and LCMS showed the reaction had completed. At 0° C., N-methylpiperazine (2.3 ml, 20.9 mmol, 1 equivalent) was added, followed by 1N NaOH (4.2 ml, 0.2 equivalents). The solution turned to clear. The solvent was evaporated to give the crude product which was further purified with silica gel chromatography (eluant 70% B, solvent B is 10% MeOH in DCM with 1% Et3N) to give the product (1.8 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ2.33 (s, 3H), 2.44 (br, 4H), 2.95&2.96 (3H), 3.86 (br, 4H), 5.1&5.7 (br, 1H).
