Hydrochloric Acid → 1-[4-(2,3-Difluorophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]piperazine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 4 N solution (50 ml) of hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate was added to a solution of tert-butyl 4-[4-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (4.20 g, 11.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (100 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. Hexane was added to the reaction mixture, and crystals were collected by filtration to give 1-[4-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]piperazine hydrochloride. The hydrochloride was dissolved in water, neutralized with a 1 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with water, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 1.76 g (56.8%) of the desired product as a solid.
