Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-(4-carboxy-phenyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (918 mg, 3 mmol) and 5-aminoindan (399 mg, 3 mmol) in methylene chloride (30 mL) was added EDCI (580 mg, 3 mmol) and DMAP (20 mg, 0.16 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then extracted with methylene chloride (50 mL) and aqueous hydrochloric acid (1N, 20 mL). The organic layer was washed with water, then sodium hydroxide solution and finally with water and brine. The solution was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. Solvents were evaporated and the residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate (40 mL) to give 4-[4-(indan-5-ylcarbamoyl)-phenyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. This intermediate was dissolved in methylene chloride (5 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (3 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr and solvents were evaporated. The residue was extracted with methylene chloride and 1N sodium hydroxide solution. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The product, N-indan-5-yl-4-piperazin-1-yl-benzamide was obtained after solvent evaporation (450 mg, Yield: 47%). LCMS calc for C20H23N3O (m/e) 321.42, obsd 322.5 (M+H).
