Reaction Steps

0.285 g of 1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-4-(tert.butoxycarbonyl)-2-piperazinecarboxylic acid was dissolved in 10 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran and cooled to -15° C. while stirring. There was then added 0.09 g of N-ethylmorpholine followed immediately by 0.107 g of isobutyl chloroformate. The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes and then 0.2 g of tert.butylamine was added dropwise. Stirring was continued overnight, during which time the mixture was allowed to reach room temperature. The solvent was removed by evaporation and there was obtained a buff coloured oil which was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed in sequence with 10% citric acid solution, sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent was removed by evaporation to give 0.185 g of 1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-4-(tert.butoxycarbonyl)-N-tert.butyl-2-piperazinecarboxamide as a light brown oil; MS: m/e 420 [M+H]+.
