Participants

Reaction Steps

The 5-bromo-2-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridine was prepared by heating a mixture of 2,5-dibromopyridine (10.0 g, 42.4 mmol) and piperazine (7.98 g, 92.8 mmol) as a melt at 125° for 3 h. On cooling to room temperature the mixture was triturated with methanol-dichloromethane to afford the desired product (7.0 g) as a beige solid. δH (CDCl3) 8.18 (1H, d, J 2.1 Hz), 7.25 (1H, dd, J 9.1, 2.1 Hz), 6.52 (1H, d, J 9.1 Hz), 3.47 (4H, m), 2.97 (4H, m) and 1.75 (1H br s).
