Acetyl chloride → tert-Butyl 7-acetyl-2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,7-diaza-spiro[3.5]nonane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (70 mg, 0.309 mmol) in DCM (3 mL) were added acetyl chloride (32 μL, 0.450 mmol) and triethylamine (54 μL, 0.526 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge, and washed with MeOH then eluted with 2 M NH3 in MeOH to give 7-acetyl-2,7-diaza-spiro[3.5]nonane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. To a solution of 7-acetyl-2,7-diaza-spiro[3.5]nonane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in DCM (3 mL) was added TFA (1 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h. The reaction mixture was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge, washed with MeOH then eluted with 2 M NH3 in MeOH to give the title compound as a colourless oil (41 mg, 79%).
