Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

974 mg of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and 724 mg of 2-(1-methylpiperazin-2-yl)ethanol are added to a suspension of 1 g of 4-fluoro-1-nitro-2-(propan-2-yloxy)benzene in 10 ml of acetonitrile. The reaction medium is microwave-heated at 110° C. for 6 hours and then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification is carried out by flash chromatography on silica gel (40-63 microns), elution being carried out with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (100/0) to (90/10). 1.15 g of 2-{1-methyl-4-[4-nitro-3-(propan-2-yloxy)phenyl]piperazin-2-yl}ethanol are obtained in the form of a yellow oil.
