1-Phenylpiperazine → 2-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)ethyl 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carboxylate formate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl 4-nitrophenyl carbonate (Intermediate 4; 1.58 g, 5.1 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (25 mL). DIPEA (0.87 mL, 5.0 mmol) and 4-phenyl-piperazine (807 mg, 0.76 mL, 5.0 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by reverse phase column chromatography (gradient eluting with MeOH in water, with 1% formic acid in each solvent, 0-100%) to give 2-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)ethyl 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carboxylate formate (113 mg, 6.7%) as a yellow oil.
