Hydrochloric Acid → 6-Chloro2-(4-allyl-1-piperazinyl)-pyrazine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of 6-chloro-2-(1-piperazinyl)-pyrazine hydrochloride (2.35 g, 10.0 mmol) and 2.8 g potassium carbonate in 25 ml of acetonitrile at 50° C. is treated with 0.9 ml (10.4 mmol) allylbromide. After 4 hours at 50° C. the mixture is concentrated under vacuum and the residue partitioned between water and chloroform. The chloroform extract is chromatographed on silica gel. Elution with 1% methanol-chloroform gives fractions containing 0.4 g (15%) title salt, mp 233.5°-234° C. by treatment with hydrogen chloride in ethanol-isopropanol.
