Triethylamine → tert-Butyl 4-(bromoacetyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of bromoacetyl bromide (8.5 ml, 97 mmol) in DCM (250 ml) at 0° C. was treated dropwise with a solution of 1-Boc-piperazine (15.9, 85.3 mmol) and triethylamine (18.0 ml, 130 mmol) in DCM (150 ml). After addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The solution was washed with ice-cold 1M HCl, sat. aq. NaHCO3, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluant; 20% EtOAc:80% cyclohexane to 50% EtOAc:50% cyclohexane) to yield the title compound (15.7 g, 60.0%).
