Hydrochloric Acid → 4-[4-(Propan-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Isopropyl-4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-piperazine (8.3 g, 33.2 mmol) is dissolved in MeOH (120 mL) and tin (II) dichloride dihydrate (37.4 g, 0.165 mol) is added. The mixture is cooled using a water bath and conc. HCl is added (36 mL). The reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight. After removing the methanol, the resultant solution is basified using conc. NaOH (pH 11). The water phase is extracted with diethyl ether (3×) and the organic layers combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (6.4 g, 88%).
