Hexane → 2-Chloro-3-(4-isopropylpiperazin-1-yl)pyrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture 2,3-dichloro-pyrazine (5.0 g, 34 mmol), 1-isopropylpiperazine (6.5 g, 51 mmol) and potassium carbonate (7.0 g, 51 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h. Addition of hexane, followed by filtration and concentration of the filtrate gave 9.5 g of crude material as an orange liquid. Purification by filtration through silica using heptane/EtOAc (3:1), followed by EtOAc/acetone (1:1), provided 6.5 g (79%) of the title compound as a yellow oil which solidified upon cooling. HPLC purity: 98%. MS m/z 241 (M+H)+. HRMS m/z calcd for C11H17ClN4 (M)+ 240.1142, found 240.1138.
