Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1 g, 5.37 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (589 mg, 1.81 mmol) and methyl 3-bromopropanoate (744 mg, 4.46 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (50 m) and EtOAc (50 mL) was added. Phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (50 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 3.5% MeOH in DCM. Collection of appropriate fractions and evaporation of solvent afforded tert-butyl 4-(3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (895 mg, 74%) as yellow oil. TLC: Rf=0.3; ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1/2.
