Reaction Steps

To a round-bottomed flask containing 2-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-piperazin-4-yl)-acetic acid×2HCl (0.100 g, 0.36 mmol) was added 2-amino-4-methylthiazole (0.045 g, 0.39 mmol) and anhydrous dichloromethane (4 ml). The reaction mixture was cooled into an ice-bath under argon, and then diisopropylethylamine (0.139 g, 1.08 mmol) was added followed by PyBOP (0.187 g, 0.36 mmol). The ice-bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 20 h under argon. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue was absorbed on silica gel and the free running powder was placed on a 20 g isolute silica column which was eluted with 30% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane and then 60% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane. The title compound was obtained as a gummy material (0.076 g, 62%). 1H-NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) 1.39 (s, 9H, C(CH3)3), 2.25 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.45 (br s, 4H, piperazine N(CH2)2), 3.27 (s, 2H, NCH2CO), 6.76 (s, 1H, thiazole 5-H), 11.78 (s, 1H, CONH);
