3-(Piperazin-1-yl)propane-1,2-diol → 3-[4-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)piperazin-1-yl]pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Grams 20.5 of 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)piperazine and 11 g of 3-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester in 100 ml dioxane were refluxed for one hour. The reaction mixture was cooled and settled, the solvent evaporated and the obtained residue dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid and the solution diluted with isopropanol until incipient precipitation. After resting, 12.7 g of 3-[4-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)piperazin-1-yl]pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester dihydrochloride melting at 195°-197° C. (with decomposition), were obtained.
