M. Weigl et B. Wunsch, Synthesis of 6,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes: Conformationally restricted piperazine derivatives, ORG LETT, 2(9), 2000, pp. 1177-1179
Starting with the proteinogenic amino acid (S)-glutamate, a general method
for the synthesis of 3-(piperazin-2-yl)propionic acid esters 7 with various
substituents at N-4 of the piperazine ring system is presented. An intramo
lecular ester condensation of 7 is the key step in the formation of the 6,8
-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane derivatives 8-10, which are of interest as confo
rmationally restricted piperazines.
