Dimethylformamide → Piperazine,1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-(4-pyridinyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-fluoronitrobenzene (7.05 g), 4-pyridylpiperazine (8.15 g), anhydrous sodium bicarbonate (10.0 g) and dry N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) was heated under reflux with stirring for 3 hours and then cooled and poured into water. The solid was filtered off, washed with water and crystallised from ethanol to give 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-(4-pyridyl)piperazine (7.34 g), m.p. 213°-216° C. Further recrystallisation raised the m.p. to 219°-221° C. Found: C,63.76; H,5.85; N,19.96. C15H16N4O2 requires: C,63.36; H,5.67; N,19.71%.
