tert-Butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate → HCID 46867018, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Boc-piperazine (0.930 g, 5.0 mmol, 1.1 eq) was dissolved in 1,2-DCE (14 mL). To this solution, 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarboxy aldehyde (0.50 g, 4.54 mmol, 1 eq) was added followed by the portionwise addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.350 g, 6.36 mmol, 1.4 eq). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and was then washed with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude mixture was redissolved in 18 mL of DCM and gently stirred overnight in the presence of PS-isocyanate (2 g, loading: 1.58 mmol/g). The mixture was filtered off, and the resin washed with DCM (2×10 mL). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the resulting mixture was purified by column chromatography on a Biotage SP1 system eluting with methanol (1-8%) in dichloromethane to give the title compound as a off-white solid (0.450 g, 32%); 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.40 (s, 9H, C(CH3)3), 2.30-2.40 (m, 4H, piperazine N(CH2)2), 3.30-3.38 (m, 4H, piperazine N(CH2)2), 3.66 (s, 2H, NCH2), 3.67 (s, 3H, imidazole Me), 6.81 (s, 1H, imidazole 4-H), 6.90 (s, 1H, imidazole 5-H); GC-MS (ESI, m/z): Rt=4.62 min, 281.1-[(M+H)+, 100%].
