p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 86733975, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 150 ml of absolute benzene there were dissolved 1.44 of 1-homopiperazineethanol and 9.5 g of p-toluene sulfonic acid. To the resulting solution, 2.75 g of 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid was added. The system 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% HCl. After the aqueous layer was washed and then rendered alkaline with potassium carbonate, followed by extraction with ether. After the ethereal layer was dehydrated with a Glauber's salt, the ether was distilled off. The resultant residue was subjected to chromatography using silica gel to obtain a colorless transparent liquid. The liquid was converted into the maleic acid salt thereof in accordance with a conventional manner. Upon recrystallization from ethanol, 1-homopiperazineethanol 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoate maleate was obtained having a melting point of 112°-113° C. The yield was 59%.
