Reaction Steps

To 1,1-dimethylethyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate (568 g, 3.05 mol) in DCM (4 L) was added TEA (617 g, 6.10 mol). After stirring for 10 min at 0° C., methanesulfonyl chloride (384 g, 3.35 mol) was added via addition funnel. The mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The mixture was poured into H2O (1 L) and extracted with DCM (1 L). The organic layer was separated, washed with H2O (1 L), dried (Na2SO4), and rotovapped down to provide the title compound of step A (720 g, 2.72 mol, 90%) which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.44 (s, 9H), 2.76 (s, 3H), 3.11-3.17 (m, 4H), 3.50-3.53 (m, 4H).
