Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-ethyl 4-[5-[2-[1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)propyl]-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-2-pyridinyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylate (24 g) in hydrobromic acid, 48% solution in water (250 ml) was stirred and refluxed overnight. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2, neutralized with NH4OH/H2O and extracted with CH2 Cl2. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, filtered off and evaporated. A sample (3.5 g) of the residue (total 18 g) was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2 /(CH3OH/NH3) 99/1). The pure fractions were collected and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in 2-propanol and converted into the hydrochloric acid salt (1:1) in 2-propanol. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with 2-propanol and dried at 150° C. The product was dissolved in 2-propanol. Pyridine was added dropwise until all the product was dissolved and crystallized out. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 1.7 g (±)-2-[1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)propyl]-2,4-dihydro-4-[6-(1-piperazinyl)-3-pyridinyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one monohydrochloride (39.4%); mp. 209.8° C. (interm. 1).
