Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-2-(4-(N-cyclohexyl-N-methylamino)phenyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-1,4-di(t-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(4-(N-cyclohexyl-N-methylamino)phenyl)piperazine in dichloromethane (4 mL) was added 4 N hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate (4 mL). After stirring for 40 min, the white precipitate was collected, which included impurities. The mixture was purified by a reverse phase chromatography eluting 0.05% TFA in water-acetonitrile to afford (S)-2-(4-(N-cyclohexyl-N-methylamino)phenyl)piperazine (59 mg 8% in 2 steps) as a clear oil.
