4-[4-(6-Chloropyrazin-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl]butan-1-amine → 3-[4-[4-(6-Chloro-2-pyrazinyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-9-thia-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrahydrothiopyran-2,6-dicarboxylic anhydride (3.7 g., 21 mmole) and 1-(4-aminobutyl)-4-(6-chloro-2-pyrazinyl)piperazine (5.63 g., 21 mmole) were combined in 200 ml. of methylene chloride and stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuum and 200 ml. of toluene added. The mixture was refluxed for 48 hours with water removal via a Dean-Stark trap. Upon cooling, the reaction was concentrated to an oil and this was dissolved in 2% ethanol/chloroform and filtered through silica gel. The fractions which contained the product were concentrated in vacuum and the resulting residue was recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol with the addition of 4N isopropanolic HCl. 0.6 Grams of the title compound was obtained as the hydrochloride, hydrate; m.p. 248°-250° C.
