Participants

Reaction Steps

The product from step (i) (1.5 g) in concentrated hydrobromic acid (30 ml) was heated under argon at 130°-135° C. for 21/2 hours. The solution was cooled, poured into water (150 ml) and basified with aqueous ammonia. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried to give 4-[4-(4-pyridyl)piperazin-1-yl]phenol (1.36 g) as a solid: m.p. 310°-312° C.; NMR(d6DMSO) δ 8.2(2H,d); 6.8(4H,m); 6.66(2H,d); 3.45(4H,m); 3.08(4H,m).
