Water → 1-[4-Benzyl-(1-piperazinyl)]isoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-chloroisoquinoline (1.64 g 10 mmol) in dry DMF (5 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 1-benzylpiperazine (1.85 g, 10.5 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (2 ml, 1.5 g, 11.5 mmol) in dry DMF (5 ml) under Ar at room temperature. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 17 h. The yellow solution was heated at 110° C. for 7 h, treated with water (100 ml) and extracted with ether (2×50 ml). The extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (SiO2 ; ethyl acetate) to give the product (1.233 g).
