1-(2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpiperazine → 3-Fluoro-4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpiperazine (5.00 g, 20.9 mmol) (from Step A above) and 10% palladium-on-carbon (0.20 g, 0.2 mmol) in ethyl acetate (100 mL) and ethanol (50 mL) was hydrogenated at 50 psi in a Parr shaker for 4 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite™. The Celite™ was washed with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and the solvent was evaporated to give 3-fluoro-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)benzenamine as a white solid (4.05 g, 93%, mp 89-91° C.).
