Hydrochloric Acid → 1,1-dimethylethyl(3R)-3-methyl-4-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]sulfonyl}-1-piperazinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl(3R)-3-methyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate (1.50 g, 7.49 mmol) in DCM (30 ml) was added DIPEA (1.96 ml, 11.2 mmol) and then portionwise addition of 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenesulfonyl chloride (2.20 g, 8.99 mmol) at rt. The resultant mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of argon for 2 hours before addition of 1M aq. HCl solution (75 ml) and DCM (75 ml). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was then re-extracted with DCM (75 ml), the organic layers were combined and washed with saturated brine solution (100 ml). The organic layers were then separated, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to dryness giving the title compound (3.39 g).
