Triethylamine → Tert-butyl 4-{2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-[4-(1-naphthyloxy)phenyl]ethyl}piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl 4-[2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (120 mg, 0.30 mmol), naphthalene-1-boronic acid (54 mg, 0.31 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (2 mL) was added copper (II) acetate (19 mg, 0.10 mmol), triethylamine (71 □L, 0.51 mmol), and powdered 4 Å sieves (100 mg) was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, after which time the reaction was filtered through a pad of Celite®, which was washed with dichloromethane (20 mL), and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified via Biotage Horizon (FLASH 25 S, silica, gradient from 10% EtOAc/hexane to 60% EtOAc/hexane) to yield tert-butyl 4-{2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-[4-(1-naphthyloxy)phenyl]ethyl}piperazine-1-carboxylate as a colorless oil. MS (ESI) m/z 531; HRMS: calcd for C33H42N2O4+H+, 531.32173; found (ESI, [M+H]+), 531.3203.
