Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.0 g 1-bromo-4-methylsulfonyl benzene, 3.3 g piperazine and 470 mg tetrabutyl ammonium iodide was stirred at 120° C. to 140° C. for 5 hours. Water was added to the mixture, then insolubles were filtered off, the filtrate was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by NH silica gel column chromatography, to give 2.8 g of the title compound as a white solid.
