Hydrazine → 4-[4-(Pyrimidin-4-yl)phenoxy]butaneamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4.6 g of 2-[4-[4-(pyrimidin-4-yl)phenoxy]butyl]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (Example 45) in 200 ml of boiling ethanol is treated with 0.8 ml of anhydrous hydrazine, and the mixture then refluxed for 9 hours. The hot suspension is filtered. The precipitate is washed with 125 ml of 1.5N HCl. The combined HCl and ethanolic filtrates are taken to dryness in vacuo to obtain the hydrochloride salt of the title compound. Mass spectrometry shows the residue to be the tide compound and the salt is utilized for synthesis without further purification, m.p. 208°-210° C. (dec.).
