Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cold (0° C.) suspension of tert-butyl 3-oxopiperazine-1-carboxylate (2.0 g, 9.99 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen, a solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in THF (10.69 mL, 10.69 mmol) was added and stirred at the temperature for 30 min. The resultant clear red brown solution was treated with 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl bromide (2.34 mL, 10.49 mmol), and stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The product mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the residue partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed successively with 5% aq KHSO4, sat. NaHCO3, and brine. The organic fraction was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 0-100% gradient of ethyl acetate in hexane. Collection and concentration of appropriate fractions provided the benzylated product.
