1-(4-Fluorophenyl)piperazine → HCID 10177347, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 75a-c, 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione and 2-aminomalonamide were heated in an aqueous solution to give 5-methyl-3-oxo-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid amide. Then, the 5-methyl-3-oxo-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid amide was treated with triethylamine and phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxychloride at reflux to give 3-chloro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-pyrazine-2-carbonitrile. The 3-chloro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-pyrazine-2-carbonitrile was finally treated with 1-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazine and N-ethyldiiso-propyl-amine in N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature to yield the 4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-6′-methyl-5′-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-3′-carbonitrile as yellow solid; m.p. 117-120° C.; MS: 374 (M+H)+.
