1-(4-Methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpiperazine → HCID 24994141, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-methyl-4-[4-(methyloxy)-3-nitrophenyl]piperazine (0.25 g, 1.0 mmol) in absolute ethanol (100 mL) was hydrogenated with 10% Pd/C at 50 psi overnight. The catalyst was removed by vacuum filtration through a celite pad, rinsed with methanol, filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the crude aniline was purified by chromatography on SiO2 (dichloromethane to 10% methanol/dichloromethane with 0.1% NH4OH) to afford 2-(methyloxy)-5-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)aniline (0.19 g, 85%) as a tan solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 2.35 (s, 3 H) 2.55-2.64 (m, 4 H) 3.06-3.13 (m, 4 H) 3.78 (s, 3 H) 6.29 (dd, J=8.61, 2.75 Hz, 1 H) 6.38 (d, J=2.75 Hz, 1 H) 6.69 (d, J=8.61 Hz, 1 H). ESIMS (M+H)+=222.
