Allyl iodide → 1-Allyl-1-methyl-4-(benzoxazol-2-yl)homopiperazinium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 540 mg portion of 2-(4-methyl-1-homopiperazinyl)-benzoxazole was dissolved in 5 ml of dichloromethane. Under cooling with ice, 0.32 ml of allyl iodide was added to the thus prepared solution, and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour at the same temperature and then for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and 5 ml of acetone was added to the resulting residue. The precipitate thus formed was collected by filtration, washed with acetone and then dried to obtain 821 mg of the title compound.
