Dichloromethane → N-(4-acetylamino-5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-4-benzylpiperazine-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the 4-acetylamino-5-chloro-2-methoxy benzoyl azide (e7) (1.35 g) in dry toluene (30 ml) was heated to 90° for 30 minutes with stirring under dry nitrogen until the evolution of nitrogen ceased. A dichloromethane solution of 1-benzylpiperazine (0.9 g) was then added to the cooled suspension of the isocyanate (e8) and the resulting solution stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was then poured into petrol (200 ml) and the precipitated solid filtered off. Recrystallisation from toluene gave the N-(4-acetylamino-5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-4-benzylpiperazine-1-carboxamide (e9) (1.4 g) m.p. 174°.
