Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-chloronicotinate (1.12 g) was dissolved in DMF (30 mL), and 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperazine (1.24 g) and potassium carbonate (1.00 g) were added thereto. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 18 hr. Water (100 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and brine and dried. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 mL), and trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) was added thereto at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 2 hr and the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water (50 mL) was added to the residue, and the mixture was washed with diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was basified with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The mixture was extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1-(5-ethoxycarbonyl-2-pyridyl)piperazine (1.17 g) as an oil.
