Reaction Steps

A solution of 6N NaOH (0.5 mL) was added to a suspension of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-{4-[2-methoxy-5-(naphthalene-1-sulfonyl)-phenyl]-piperazin-1-yl}-ethanone (1) (0.110 g; 0.23 mmol ) in methanol. After stirring at 80° C. for 10 min water was added (10 ml) and the mixture was extracted into ethyl acetate (20 ml). The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give 1-[2-methoxy-5-(naphthalene-1-sulfonyl)-phenyl]-piperazine (101) as a white solid (0.060 g , 68%), MS, MH+ 383. The hydrochloride salt was prepared from ethanol-hydrogen chloride, m. p. 154-158° C.
