2-Dimethylaminopyridine → (+)-N-(t-butyloxy)-1-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-piperazinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (+)-1-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-piperazinecarboxylic acid (100 mg, 0.23 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 ml) is added O-t-butylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (35 mg, 0.28 mmol), dimethylaminopyridine (37 mg, 0.30 mmol), and dicyclohexycarbodiimide (57 mg, 0.28 mmol). After stirring overnight, the reaction is diluted with hexanes and the precipitated solid filtered off. The solution is concentrated and the crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography (elution with 2:1 ethyl acetate-hexanes with 1% acetic acid) to provide (+)-N-(t-butyloxy)-1-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-piperazinecarboxamide.
