Piperazine → (R)-1-(4-Piperazin-1-yl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-ethyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-1-(4-methanesulfonyloxy-pyrimidin-2-yl)-ethyl acetate (prepared according to the method of Preparation Six, 24.1 g, 92 mmol) and piperazine (16.0 g, 184 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) was heated at reflux for 1 h. This mixture was cooled, filtered, concentrated, and purified by flash column chromatography (9:1 dichloromethane/methanol) to give 24.4 g (88%) of the title compound as an oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ1.56 (d, 3H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 2.83 (m, 4H), 3.63 (m, 4H), 5.54 (q, 1H), 6.38 (d, 1H), 8.24 (d, 1H); MS (CI) 251 (MH+).
