Picolinic acid → HCID 86733976, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 150 ml of absolute benzene there were dissolved 3.04 g of 1-homopiperazinepropanol, 2.85 g of picolinic acid and 2.73 g of p-toluene sulfonic acid. The solution was heated for 16 hours to reflux while removing the formed water. The reaction liquid was cooled, washed with 15% potassium carbonate and then extracted with 10% hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was washed with ether, then rendered alkaline with potassium carbonate followed by extraction with ether. After the ethereal layer was dehydrated over a Glauber's salt, the ether was distilled off. The resultant residue was subjected to chromatography using silica gel to give a colorless transparent liquid. The liquid was converted into the maleic acid salt thereof in accordance with a conventional manner. Upon recrystallization of the maleic acid salt from ethanol, 1-homopiperazinepropanol picolinate maleate was obtained having a melting point of 105°-107° C. The Yield was 47%.
