Piperazine → 4-(Piperazin-1-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (1.0 g, 5.48 mmol), piperazine (2.36 g, 27.4 mmol), and triethylamine (2.29 mL, 16.4 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 5 h. The reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate three times, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (10%MeOH/5%Et3N/EtOAc) to yield the desired product (720 mg, 56.6%). LCMS calculated for C9H12F3N4:(M+H) 233.1; found 233.1.
