Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of ethyl-2-bromoisobutyrate (2.65 g, 13.6 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (25 mL) at room temperature was added tert-butyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate (2.48 g, 13.3 mmol) followed by potassium carbonate (1.88 g, 13.6 mmol). The mixture was heated to 85° C. overnight. The cooled reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, separated and dried (MgSO4). The crude product was purified by column chromatography to yield 4-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-ethyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a colourless oil (1.28 g).
