Benzyl chloroformate → (S)-4-benzyl 1-tert-butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)piperazine-1,4-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of (S)-1-Boc-2-hydroxymethyl-piperazine (500 mg) in DCM (15 mL) were added NaHCO3 (369 mg), water (3 mL) and benzyl chloroformate (0.464 mL) at RT. The resulting emulsion was vigorously stirred at RT overnight. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with DCM. The combined org. layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered off and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by CC (Biotage, SNAP 25 g cartridge, solvent A: Hept; solvent B: EA; gradient in % B: 50 for 6CV, 50 to 70 over 3CV, 70 for 2CV) to afford 714 mg of colourless oil. LC-MS (B): tR=0.82 min; [M+H]+: 350.94.
