Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-[(6-acetyl-5-hydroxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.18 g, 0.48 mmol) in pyridine (1.0 mL) was added with acetic anhydride (1.0 mL) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.010 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was added with ice water, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed successively with water and saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and then the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate (7:3→3:7)) to obtain tert-butyl 4-[(5-acetoxy-6-acetylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.18 g, 87%).
