Methanol → trans-4-[2-(4-Cyclobutylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)cyclopropyl]benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 21C (0.75 g, 4.01 mmol), 1-cyclobutylpiperazine, 2HCl (0.854 g, 4.01 mmol) and N-Ethyldiisopropylamine (2.79 mL, 16.03 mmol) in 20 ml of DMF at RT was added in portions HATU (1.523 g, 4.01 mmol). This was stirred for 60 min. then concentrated. The reaction was partitioned between EtOAc and 1 N HCl. The aq. layer was extracted 3× with EtOAc then made basic with 2 N NaOH. The aq. layer was extracted 3× with EtOAc and the combined organic layers were washed with brine then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification was performed using a gradient of 0% to 10% MeOH in DCM. A second purification was necessary using first 100% EtOAc then 2-5% MeOH in DCM providing 0.853 g of 21D (68.8% yield).
