1-[3-(Ethyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-4-[1-(2-fluoroethyl)-4-piperidinyl]piperazine → (2-(Ethyloxy)-4-{4-[1-(2-fluoroethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1-piperazinyl}phenyl)amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[3-(ethyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-4-[1-(2-fluoroethyl)-4-piperidinyl]piperazine (200 mg, 0.53 mmol) and platinum (sulfided, 5 wt. % on carbon, 50 mg, 0.013 mmol) in 20% MeOH/EtOAc (20 mL) was added to a high-pressure hydrogenation reaction flask. The reaction was purged with N2 and vacuum (3×). The reaction was purged with H2 and vacuum (3×). The reaction was then treated with H2 at 50 psi and stirred for approximately 16 h. The reaction was degassed, then poured through a Teflon filter, washing the solid with MeOH and DCM. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound of step C (136 mg, 0.38 mmol, 74%) as a brown solid. MS (ESI): 351 [M+H]+.
