Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 115 mg of compound of Example 13 dissolved in 10 ml of dioxane was added 171 mg (3 equivalents) of N-phenylpiperazine, followed by heating under reflux for 4 hours. Next, dioxane was evaporated, aqueous sodium bicarbonate added and the mixture extracted with methylene chloride. After washing the extract with aqueous sodium chloride, the mixture was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Next, the residue obtained by concentration of the methylene chloride solution was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=3:1) to obtain 142 mg of the desired compound (yield 99.0%). The fumarate was obtained by converting the product to a fumarate in a conventional manner, followed by recrystallization from acetone-ether.
