Ammonia → 2-[4-(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)acetate (0.45 g, 1.81 mmol) in methanolic ammonia (15 ml) was heated at 100° C. in a pressure bomb overnight. Excess MeOH was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude compound. This was washed with n-pentane and dried in vacuo to afford 0.24 g (57%) of 2-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)acetamide as a brown color solid.
