Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-pyridinylpropylchloride (Example A) (3.0 g, 0.0193 mol), 1-(2-pyridinyl)piperazine (3.15 g, 0.0193 mol), potassium iodide (0.8 g, 0.005 mol) is dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (80 mL) and heated to 80° C. for 12 hours. The reaction is cooled and the precipitate is filtered. The filtrate is washed with sodium carbonate and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer is evaporated in vacuo and the residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 10% ethanol/ethyl acetate). The major product is taken up in diethyl ether and the precipitate is filtered. The filtrate is evaporated in vacuo to give 0.8 g of 1-(2-pyridinyl)-4-[3-(3-pyridinyl)propyl]piperazine as a white solid; mp 51-52° C.
