Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 34.4 mmol (10 g) of 4-(5-amino-2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butanolate (described in J. Med. Chem., 1999, p.202) and 37.8 mmol (5.9 g) of 3-chloro-4-methylphenyl isocyanate in 150 ml of toluene is heated at reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated, and the residue is taken up in 200 ml of 4N hydrochloric acid and then heated at reflux for 4 hours. After cooling, the precipitate formed is filtered off and treated with a 2N sodium hydroxide solution in order to regenerate the corresponding base.
