Hydrochloric Acid → tert-Butyl 4-acryloylpiperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acryloylchlorid (0.8 ml, 9.8 mmol, 1 eq) was added dropwise to a stirred ice-cold solution of piperazine 1-carboxylic acid tert butyl ester (2 g, 9.8 mmol, 1 eq) and triethylamine (1.4 ml, 9.8 mmol, 1 eq) in dichloromethane (50 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was then stirred and allowed to come to room temperature over 2 hours. 1M Hydrochloric acid solution (50 mL) was added to the mixture, and the two layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (2×50 ml) and saturated sodium chloride solution (50 ml) and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the solvent is evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane 1/1) to give the product (1.26 g, 49%) as a white solid.
