Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-piperazine (1.0 g, 5.67 mmol), 2-chloro-N-methylacetamide (671.2 mg, 6.24 mmol, 1.1 eq.), and potassium carbonate (941 mg, 6.81 mmol, 1.2 eq.) in anhydrous THF (23 mL) was stirred at 60° C. under N2 for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and poured into EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by MPLC (Biotage®, gradient elution 1:4:5 v/v MeOH:Acetone:DCM) to give 1.16 g (83%) of the product as a white solid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) 7.62 to 7.56 (broad d, 1H), 7.33 to 7.20 (m, 5H), 3.45 (s, 2H), 2.85 (s, 2H), 2.58 (d, 3H), 2.44 to 2.33 (broad s, 8H); ES-MS m/z 248.2 [M+H]+, RT (min) 0.33.
