4-Benzylpiperazine-1-carboxamidine hemisulfate → HCID 178520340, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10.0 g (73.5 mmoles) of 2-hydroxymethylenebutyrolactone sodium salt [synthesized by the method described in J. O. Fissekis et al., J. Org., Chem. 29, 2670 (1964)] and 19.6 g (73.3 mmoles) of 1-amidino-4-benzylpiperazine sulfate were added to 360 ml of ethanol, and the solution was refluxed for 5 hours. Ethanol was evaporated, and the residue was mixed with water and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried, concentrated, and purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 6.66 g (yield 29%) of 2-(4-benzylpiperazino)-4-hydroxy-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrimidine as crystals.
