Sodium hydride → Tert-butyl 4-((4-methyl-2-oxopiperazin-1-yl)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 60% dispersion of sodium hydride (84.55 mg, 2.114 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 4-methylpiperazin-2-one (241.3 mg, 2.114 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) and the reaction stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. Tert-butyl 4-(methylsulfonyloxymethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (477 mg, 1.626 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added dropwise and the reaction stirred at ambient temperature for a further 92 hours then at 50° C. for a further 20 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, quenched by the addition of water and the mixture extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (×3), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ISCO Companion, 40 g column, eluting with 0 to 10% MeOH/DCM, loaded in DCM) to give tert-butyl 4-((4-methyl-2-oxopiperazin-1-yl)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate product as a colourless oil (99 mg, 20% Yield). MS (ES+) 312.2.
