Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask was charged with tert-butyl 3-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (2.00 g, 9.99 mmol, 1.00 equiv), 1-chloro-4-[chloro(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]benzene (5.46 g, 20.1 mmol, 2.01 equiv), potassium carbonate (6.90 g, 49.9 mmol, 5.00 equiv), acetonitrile (30 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 82° C. in an oil bath. The resulting solution was diluted with H2O (50 mL). The resulting solution was extracted with dichloromethane (3×20 mL) and the organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1/4) to yield 1.70 g (53% yield) of tert-butyl 4-[bis(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate as a light yellow solid. LCMS: (ESI, m/z): 435 [M+H]+.
