Potassium Iodide → 3-[2-[4-[(2-fluorophenyl)(2-phenylhydrazono)methyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.5 parts of 3-(2-chloroethyl)-2-methyl-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, 6 parts of 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)piperazine, 2-phenylhydrazine, 5.04 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.1 parts of potassium iodide and 120 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone was stirred overnight at reflux temperature. The inorganic salts were filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 2-propanol. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 2.5 parts (25.8) of 3-[2-[4-[(2-fluorophenyl)(2-phenylhydrazono)methyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one; mp. 180° C. (int. 10).
