Sodium Bicarbonate → Tert-butyl 4-(3-(3-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ureido)phenethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(3-aminophenethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (7D, 1.0 eq) in THF (about 0.3 M 7D in THF) was added 5-isocyanato-2-methylpyridine (1.0 eq) dropwise. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aq. NaHCO3. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed twice with saturated aq. NaHCO3 and once with brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2 SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification over silica gel using 5-12% MeOH/CH2Cl2 as the gradient eluant provided tert-butyl 4-(3-(3-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ureido)phenethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (7E, 63%).
