Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1-methylsulfonylpiperazine (1.58 g, 9.6 mmol), 3-bromo-1-propanol (1.13 ml, 12 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.73 g, 12 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 ml) was stirred at 40° C. for 4 hours followed by 2 hours at 70° C. The mixture was cooled, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (97/3 followed by 95/5) to give 3-(4-methylsulfonylpiperazin-1-yl)propan-1-ol (1.95 g, 91%).
