Alkylation of ethyl piperazine-2-carboxylate (I) with two equivalents of isopropyl iodide (II) afforded disubstituted piperazine (III). The title imidazoline was then obtained by reaction of the ester function of (III) with ethylenediamine (IV) in the presence of trimethylaluminum.
Alkylation of ethyl piperazine-2-carboxylate (I) with two equivalents of isobutyl bromide (II) under catalysis of KI afforded disubstituted piperazine (III). The title imidazoline was then obtained by reaction of the ester function of (III) with ethylenediamine (IV) in the presence of trimethylaluminum.
