Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-amino-4,5-dichloro-3-nitropyridine (0.052 g, 0.25 mmol) and isopropanol (4.5 ml) was added 1-[(4-pyridyl)-methyl]-piperazine (0.049 g, 0.28 mmol) followed by diisopropylethylamine (0.05 ml, 0.28 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 45° C. for 24 h, then allowed to cool to room temperature, and diluted with isopropanol (3 ml). The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with isopropanol and diethyl ether. The title compound was thus obtained as yellow solid (0.035 g). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and purification of the residue on a isolute silica column using 0 to 5% methanol in ethyl acetate/dichloromethane (v/v; 1:1) as eluant gave an additional 0.036 g of the product (total yield: 81%); 1H-NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) 3.09 (br s, 4H, piperazine N(CH2)2), 3.57 (s, 2H, NCH2), 6.96 (s, 2H, NH2), 7.34 (d, J=5.81 Hz, 2H), and 8.51 (d, J=5.88 Hz, 2H) (pyrid-4-yl protons), 8.06 (s, 1H, 6-H);
