Benzyl chloroformate → benzyl 4-(4-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)piperazine (8.5 g, 30.6 mmol) in MeOH (30 mL), NaOH (2 M, 31 mL) was slowly added at RT, followed by the addition of benzyl chloroformate (6.4 g, 37 mmol) in portions at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The solution was concentrated and diluted with H2O (500 mL), extracted with EtOAc (3×200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with H2O (100 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford the crude product, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Petroleum ether:EtOAc=1:1) to afford benzyl 4-(4-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate as a yellow oil (7.3 g, 58%). MS (ES+) C23H29N3O4 requires: 411, found: 412[M+H]+.
