Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60%, 57 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml), 2-oxazolidone (0.122 g) was added, followed by stirring at 90° C. for 1 hour. A solution of 1,4-di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-tosyloxyethyl)piperazine (0.686 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 ml) was added to the reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated aqueous NaCl solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure, whereby the title compound (0.515 g) was obtained as a colorless solid.
