Pyridine → 1-(5-Methyl-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-5-methyl-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (4.16 g), 15.07 g of piperazine and 20 ml of pyridine is stirred at 100° under nitrogen for 22 h. The reaction is monitored by TLC (8% methanol/methylene chloride) and after this period of time no change occurs. The mixture is subsequently placed in a Parr bomb and heated in an oil bath at 180° for 24 h. Bomb pressure increases by 40 psi. The mixture is worked up by partitioning between chloroform and water. The organic phase is washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (2×) and with saline (2×), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to a solid, the product is recrystallized in ethyl acetate, MS [M+H]+ 243.1484
