1-Methylpiperazine → 5-Chloro-7-methyl-2-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)benzoxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Chloro-7-methyl-2-mercaptobenzoxazole (200 mg) was dissolved in chloroform (20 ml), N-methylpiperazine (0.55 ml) was added dropwise to the solution and then the mixture was stirred with heating for 3 days. After evaporation of the solvent, the thus obtained mixture was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride:methanol=20:1) to obtain the title compound 5-chloro-7-methyl-2-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)benzoxazole (270 mg).
