Reaction Steps

A suspension of N′-((Z)-piperazin-2-ylidene)-trifluoroacetohydrazide (41 g) in methanol (170 mL) is stirred and heated to about 55° C. Hydrogen chloride (21 mL) is added to the reaction mixture and stirred for about 2 hours. The solution is cooled to 20° C. and methyl tert-butyl ether (423 mL) is added to it. The solution is further cooled to 0° C. and stirred for about 1 hour. The solid is filtered, washed with mixture of ethanol and methyl tert-butyl ether (82 mL) and dried at about 45° C. to afford the title compound. (Yield: 90.7%)
