Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Bromophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (1.45 g, 6.5 mmol) and 1-phenyl-4-(1-piperidinyl)butan-1-one (1.50 g, 6.5 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (10 ml) and stirred at 25° C. for 4 hours. The solid was filtered and washed with ethanol and ether. The white product was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) and heated at 70° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was basified with saturated potassium carbonate solution and extracted into ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (sodium sulphate) and evaporated to give a yellow oil. Chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane-methanol-ammonia (98:2:0.2) as eluent yielded the title compound (0.51 g, 20%) as a white solid. Oxalate salt, white crystals, mp 121-122° C.
