Water → 1-Methyl-4-(4-nitrobenzyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Monomethylpiperazine (15 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (60 mL) were placed in a 200 mL eggplant shaped flask, and a solution of 4-nitrobenzylchloride (8.58 g, 50 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to the mixture at room temperature while stirring. After finishing the instillation, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was mixed with distilled water, and the precipitated solids were collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (5.9 g, 50%).
