Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-(−)-2-methylpiperazine (0.50 g, 0.005 mol, CAS 75336-86-6, Aldrich 39,716-4, 99%) and 2-bromopyridine (5 mL, 0.05 mol) was heated to 120° C. for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 23° C. and partitioned between a large volume of ethyl acetate and water. The layers were separated, and then additional water was added to the ethyl acetate solution. Drops of 1N Hydrochloric acid solution were added to the water/ethyl acetate mixture with vigorous mixing until all of the product was transferred to the aqueous phase. The layers were separated, and the combined aqueous phases concentrated under reduced pressure, and azeotroped with toluene/methanol (5×) to afford 1.29 g (>99% yield) of 3-(R)-methyl-1-pyridin-2-yl-piperazine hydrobromide. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.27 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3H), 2.90 (dd, J=10.5, 14.1 Hz, 1H), 3.10 (m, 2H), 3.40 (m, 2H), 4.32 (m, 2H), 6.77 (dd, J=4.8, 6.9 Hz, 1H), 6.98 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (m, 1H), 8.15 (m, 1H), 8.63 (br s, 1H), 8.92 (br s, 1H); MS (ESI) m/e 178 (M+H)+.
