Reaction Steps

10% Palladium on carbon (25 mg, 0.024 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-4-(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)-piperazine (150 mg, 0.48 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) at ambient temperature and the reaction stirred for 6 hours under an atmosphere of hydrogen. The reaction was filtered through a pad of celite and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography on alumina, eluting with 0.5% methanol in dichloromethane yielded 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-4-(5-aminopyridin-2-yl)piperazine (100 mg, 74% yield):
