Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-N-[2,4-bis(methylthio)-6-methyl-3-pyridyl]acetamide (6.41 g, 0.02 mol) in acetonitrile (120 ml) was added 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine(3.53 g, 0.027 mol), and then added potassium carbonate (3.75 g, 0.027 mol) with ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 23 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was recrystallized from ethanol-ether to provide 7.19 g (yield 97%) of 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-N-[2,4-bis(methylthio)-6-methyl-3-pyridyl]acetamide as colorless needles.
