Piperazine → 3,4-Dihydro-6-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-2-(1-piperazinyl)-4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenylimino)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-chloro-3,4-dihydro-6-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenylimino)pyrimidine (1.07 g) in ethanol (10 ml) was added piperazine (0.70 g). The mixture was refluxed for 3 hours, cooled to ambient temperature. The mixture was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in chloroform and washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using a mixture of chloroform and methanol (95:5) to give 3,4-dihydro-6-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-2-(1-piperazinyl)-4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenylimino)pyrimidine (0.69 g).
