1-Methylpiperazine → 3-[5-Chloro-3-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrazinyl]-4-methyl-benzoic acid, methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(3,5-dichloro-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrazinyl)-4-methyl-benzoic acid, methyl ester, (Example 107a, 250 mg) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was added 1-methyl-piperazine (0.2 mL). After 12 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with sat. aqueous NaHCO3, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed to afford the subtitle compound.
