Cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride → Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid {2-[4-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-piperazin-1-yl-]ethyl}-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[4-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-piperazin-1-yl-]ethylamine (0.20 g, 0.76 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was treated with cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride (0.11 g, 0.76 mmol) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight, during which time it came up to room temperature. The product was precipitated by the addition of hexane to yield the hydrochloride semihydrate salt of the titled compound (0.25 g, 80%) as a white solid; mp=165-166° C.; MS (+) ESI m/z=374 (M+H)+.
