4-Fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride → 1-((4-Fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-4-methylpiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Commercially available 4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.00 g, 5.14 mmol) was suspended in water (15 mL), and N-methylpiperazine (0.68 mL, 6.17 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.56 g, 11.3 mmol) were added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 14 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. To the reaction solution, water (50 mL) was added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (50 mL), and subsequently the organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: ethyl acetate/hexane=50%-90%) to afford the desired compound (491 mg, yield 37%) as a white solid.
