Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 10 mL of dimethylformamide, 300 mg (1.44 mmol) of 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzotrifluoride was dissolved, and 287 mg (2.88 mmol) of 4-methylpiperazine and 792 mg (5.76 mmol) of potassium carbonate were added thereto and the mixture solution was heated at 70° C. for three hours with vigorous stirring. After cooling, the reaction solution was poured into a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, and the obtained organic layer as such was used as a substrate in the subsequent catalytic reduction. To the organic layer, 10 mg of 10% palladium carbon was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours in a hydrogen atmosphere at normal pressures. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 350 mg (94%) of a target product as a brown solid.
