Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 2-phenyl propionic acid (1.0 g, 6.7 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (15 mL) was added a few drops of DMF and excess thionyl chloride. The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h, when bubbling ceased the mixture was evaporated to dryness. The crude residue was co-evaporated with toluene and 1,2-dichloroethane. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and cooled to 0° C. To the stirred solution, BOC-piperazine (1.24 g, 6.7 mmol) and Et3N were added. A white precipitate formed and the reaction was stirred 12 h at RT. Et2O was added and the mixture was washed with water and brine. The ether layer was separated and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated. The residue was treated with 20% ether/hexanes and the resulting solid filtered. The filtrate was evaporated and the procedure repeated. After drying, there remained a white solid (1.3 g, 62%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 1.4 (s, 9H), 1.42 (d, 3H), 2.7 (m, 1H), 3.1-3.6 (m, 6H), 3.85 (m, 2H), 7.2-7.4 (m, 5H). [M+Na] 341.
