Sodium hydride → HCID 23081216, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (22.95 g, 104 mmol) was gradually added to a suspension of sodium hydride (4.3 g, 109 mmol) in DMSO (200 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. To which a solution tert-butyl 4-(2-oxopropyl)homopiperazine-1-carboxylate (24.3 g, 94.8 mmol) prepared in Reference Example 10 in DMSO (25 ml) was gradually added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with water, and dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol=100/1) to afford tert-butyl 4-(2-methyl-2-oxiranylmethyl)homopiperazine-1-carboxylate (15.38 g, yield 60%) as a pale yellow oil.
