Sodium Carbonate → N-benzyl-2-(4-pyridin-2-ylpiperazin-1-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-pyridin-2-ylpiperazine (24 mg, 0.15 mmol, Aldrich), N-benzyl-2-chloroacetamide (37 mg, 0.20 mmol, Maybridge) and sodium carbonate (50 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide/water (2:1, 2 mL) was shaken at room temperature for 18 hours. The resulting mixture was decanted, concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by preparative HPLC to provide 16 mg (32%) of the desired product. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.58 (m, 4H), 3.05 (s, 2H), 3.52 (m, 4H), 4.35 (d, J=5 Hz, 2H), 6.63 (t, J=5 Hz, 1H), 6.82 (d, J=6 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (m, 5H), 7.55 (t, J=6 Hz, 1H), 8.12 (t, J=5 Hz, 1H), 8.35 (s, 1H); MS (ESI/APCI+) m/e 311 (M+H)+.
