Procedure

To a solution of 1-methylpiperazine (0.605 ml, 5.45 mmol) in DMF (6.25 ml) was added 4-fluoronitrobenzene (0.750 ml, 7.07 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.13 g, 8.18 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred at 90° C. overnight. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature, diluted with DCM and washed with water. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel silica chromatography using a 0-10% MeOH in DCM gradient to afford 1-methyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)piperazine (1.03 g, 4.66 mmol, 85%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 2.37 (3H, s), 2.58 (4H, t), 3.45 (4H, t), 6.82 (2H, d), 8.12 (2H, d). LCMS (1) Rt: 1.63 min; m/z (ES+) 222.
