Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-Fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (3.0 g, 0.021 mol) and 1-methylpiperazine (6.98 ml, 0.63 mol) were combined and heated neat at 90° C. for 48 h. Upon cooling to RT, the resulting brown oil solidified. The crude material was purified by re-crystallization from EtOAc/Hexane mixtures to leave the title compound as an orange solid (3.59 g). MS: (ES+) 222 (M+1)+; (ES−):220 (M−1)−. Calc'd for C11H15N3O2: 221.12.
