Water → N-(2-Nitro-4-((4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)phenylmethyl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-chloromethyl-2-nitrophenylmethyl)acetamide (1.4 g), phenylpiperazine (0.8 ml) and potassium carbonate (0.6 g) in dimethylformamide (20 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into water (150 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give a pale-yellow solid. The obtained pale-yellow solid was crystallized from ethyl acetate to give the title compound (1.3 g) as pale-yellow white crystals, m.p.=135-136° C.
