Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (110 mg, 0.43 mmol) in DCM (3 mL) was added TFA (1 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred for 3 h. The reaction mixture was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge which was washed with MeOH/DCM and the product eluted with 2M NH3/MeOH affording the title compound as an off-white solid (62 mg, 91%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 3.32 (2H, s), 2.90 (5H, t, J=4.78 Hz), 2.38-2.13 (4H, m), 1.03 (6H, s)
