HCID 21481138, compound → 3-[2-(1-Piperazinyl)ethyl]-2-oxazolidinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

291 g of 3-[2-(4-benzyl-1-piperazinyl)-ethyl]-2-oxazolidinone dihydrochloride in 7 litres of methanol are hydrogenated in the presence of 70 g of palladium/carbon (5%) at 50° C and 10 atmospheres of hydrogen. The mixture is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is treated with sodium hydroxide, extracted with chloroform, filtered through diatomaceous earth and concentrated. There is obtained 3-[2-(1-piperazinyl)-ethyl]-2-oxazolidinone as a yellow oil. The dihydrochloride of melting point 203° C (decomposition) is obtained by treatment with an excess of hydrochloric acid in methanol/ether.
