Acetyl chloride → (+/-)-1-BOC-4-acetyl-3-phenyl-piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl 3-phenylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (400 mg, 1.52 mmol) and triethyl amine (309 mg, 3.05 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was added acetyl chloride (156 mg, 1.98 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 3 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and dichloromethane. The aqueous part was extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic part was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (20/1 dichloromethane/methanol) to afford 4-acetyl-3-phenyl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (250 mg, 54%). [M-BOC]H+=205.
