Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-Methylpiperazine (6.99 mL, 63 mol) was dissolved in toluene (30 mL). 3-Bromopropanol (2.62 mL, 30 mmol) was added slowly and the mixture was stirred overnight. After heating to 80° C. for 2 h and cooling to r.t., the mixture was filtered and the filter cake was washed thoroughly with toluene. After removal of the toluene, the residue was subjected to Kugelrohr distillation (b.p., 180° C./2 mbar) to obtain a colourless oil (4.08 g, 25.8 mmol, 86%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ=1.70 (Ψ-quint, J≈5.8 Hz, 2 H), 2.26 (s, 3 H), 2.35-2.6 (m, 8 H), 2.60 (Ψ-t, J=5.8 Hz, 2 H), 3.77 (Ψ-t, J=5.3 Hz, 2 H), 4.09 (s, br., 1 H).
