Dichloromethane → 1-Benzyl-4-methanesulfonyl-piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To dichloromethane (50 ml) was added 1-benzylpiperazine (10.0 g, 56.73 mmol), methanesulfonyl chloride (4.4 ml, 56.85 mmol) was added under ice-cooling with stirring, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with 10% aqueous sodium carbonate solution, and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (9.58 g, yield 66%) as a pale-yellow solid.
