1-Methylpiperazine → HCID 86734087, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2-phenyl-isoindolin-1-one (8.4 g.) and 1-methylpiperazine (3.6 g.) in anhydrous toluene (84 cc.) is heated under reflux for 3 days. After cooling, the reaction mixture is washed with water (2 × 50 cc.) and then the organic solution is extracted with 1N hydrochloric acid (55 cc.) and water (3 × 20 cc.). The aqueous and acid solutions are combined and are rendered alkaline by addition of 1N sodium hydroxide solution (55 cc.). The oil which separates out is extracted with methylene chloride (150 cc.) and then the organic solution obtained is dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residual oil is dissolved in ethanol (20 cc.) and the resulting solution is added to a hot solution of fumaric acid (5.85 g.) in ethanol (80 cc.). The product which crystallises on cooling is filtered off and then washed with ethanol (30 cc.) and di-isopropyl ether (40 cc.). After drying, 3-[2-hydroxy-3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-propoxy]-2-phenyl-isoindolin-1-one acid difumarate (14.5 g.), melting at 194° C., is obtained.
