Potassium Iodide → 4-(1-Piperazinyl)isoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.1 g (5.2 mmol) of 1-(5-tetralinyl)piperazine, 1.5 ml of triethylamine and a trace of potassium iodide were added to a solution of 1.64 g (6.0 mmol) of 2-(3-chloroprop-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzoisothiazole 1,1-dioxide in 40 ml of DMF. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for four hours and then poured in ice-water, and the resulting precipitate was filtered off with suction. Purification took place by recrystallization from isopropanol to result in 1 g (43%) of the product (melting point 140° C.).
