1-Phenylpiperazine → 1-[[(4-Phenyl-1-piperazinyl)carbonyl]amino]cyclohexanecarboxylic acid phenylmethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 366 mg (3 mmol) of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and 6.99 g (30 mmol) of 1-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid phenylmethyl ester in methylene chloride was added to a solution of 6.55 g (30 mmol) of di-t-butyl dicarbonate in 150 ml of methylene chloride, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Thereafter, a solution of 6.07 g (60 mmol) of triethylamine and 5.11 g (33 mmol) of 1-phenylpiperazine in methylene chloride was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution was concentrated, ethyl acetate was added thereto, and the mixture was successively washed with water, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, followed by drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the obtained crystal was washed with diethyl ether to obtain 8.88 g (70%) of the title compound.
