Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Piperazine (3.6 g, 42.5 mmol), Pd(II)acetate (0.007 g, 0.043 mmol), sodium t-butoxide (0.22 g, 2.4 mmol) and BINAP (0.042 g, 0.068 mmol) were stirred at room temperature in 10 mL dry toluene for 15 min. (2-Bromo-5-chloro-phenyl)-phenyl-methanone (0.5 g, 1.7 mmol) in 10 mL dry toluene was then added into the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was refluxed at 110° C. for 20 hrs, filtered through a celite bed, washed with toluene, concentrated, taken in ethyl acetate and extracted with 1.5 (N) HCl solution three times. The combined aqueous layers were washed with diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was neutralized with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and then extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined ethyl acetate layers were washed with water and saturated brine solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (eluted with CHCl3-MeOH) afforded the title compound as product.
