Triethylamine → 1,1-Dimethylethyl (2S)-4-[(4-aminophenyl)methyl]-2-methyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,1-dimethylethyl (2S)-2-methyl-4-[(4-nitrophenyl)methyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylate (D21) (21.62 g, 0.0644 mol), triethylamine (40 mL) and 5% Pt/C catalyst (21 g, 56% w/w water) in MeOH (400 mL) was hydrogenated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure overnight. The catalyst was removed by filtration and washed with further MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, re-dissolved in DCM (200 mL) and washed with 2M NaOH solution. The aqueous wash was re-extracted with DCM (×2, 100 mL) and all organic phases were combined, washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give the title compound (19.53 g) which was used in the next step without further purification.
