“…1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 7.36 -7.28 (m, 5H, CH ar ), 5.12 (s, 2H, CH 2 ), 3.51 (t, J = 4.8 Hz, 4H, 2xCH 2 ), 2.79 (t, J = 6.0 Hz, 2H, CH 2 ), 2.44 (t, J = 6.0 Hz, 2H, CH 2 ), 2.40 (br s, 4H, 2xCH 2 ), 2.30 (s, 2H, NH 2 ). 13 After the solution of the carboxylate product (12.58 g, 47.75 mmol) in THF (200 mL) was cooled to 0 °C, Boc 2 O (1.2 eq., 12.51 g, 57.30 mmol) was added portion wise and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to RT overnight before being concentrated. The residue was further purified by silica column chromatography (20% 30% EtOAc/Pentane) to afford benzyl 4-(2-((tertbutoxycarbonyl)amino)ethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate as a yellowish oil (13.71 g, 37.72 mmol, 79%).…”
