Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-Boc-2-piperazinone (2.0 g, 10 mmol), 3-cyanobenzyl bromide (1.8 g, 10 mmol) in DMF (35 mL) at 0° C. was added sodium hydride (480 mg of a 60% suspension in mineral oil, 12 mmol) in several portions over a period of 15 min. The mixture was stirred a 0° C. for 1 h and then at ambient temperature for 1 h. Acetic acid (1 mL) was added and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The EtOAc layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was triturated in ether and the white solid was collected by filtration to give 1-(3-cyanobenzyl)4-Boc-2-piperazinone (2.6 g).
