Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Ethyl-4-(4-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)piperazine (21.7 g, 68.3 mmol) obtained in Step (2) above was stirred in a solution of methanol. The reaction solution was mixed with Pd/C (1.8 g, 17.08 mmol), followed by stirring under hydrogen conditions for about 12 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite pad under reduced pressure, and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (19.4 g, 99%).
