(2R,5S)-1-BOC-2,5-Dimethylpiperazine is a chiral piperazine derivative widely utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis. The molecule features a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the nitrogen and methyl substituents at the 2 and 5 positions with specific stereochemistry. Its molecular formula is C10H20N2O2 and CAS registry number is 174698-95-0. Production typically involves the alkylation of protected piperazine intermediates under strict chiral resolution protocols.
Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry environments away from moisture. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential irritancy. This intermediate is strictly for research and industrial use; it is not approved for direct clinical administration.
