1-Methylpiperazine → 3-(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)-5-nitropyridin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromo-5-nitropyridin-4-amine (LXIX) (618 mg, 2.83 mmol) in 1-methylpiperazine (1 mL, 8.51 mmol) was heated at 140° C. overnight. The reaction was poured into an EtOAc/H2O mixture; the organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column (100% CHCl3→3:97 MeOH(7N NH3):CHCl3) to give 3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-5-nitropyridin-4-amine (CXVII) as a yellow solid (382 mg, 1.61 mmol, 56.7% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ ppm 2.20 (s, 3H), 2.35-2.37 (m, 4H), 4.52-3.54 (m, 4H), 5.96 (s, 1H), 7.42 (s, 2H), 8.78 (s, 1H); ESIMS found C10H15N5O2 m/z 238 (M+H).
