Hydrochloric Acid → 4-[4-(Propan-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-isopropyl-4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-piperazine (8.3 g, 33.2 mmol) in MeOH (120 mL) is added tin (II) dichloride dihydrate (37.4 g, 0.165 mol). The mixture is cooled using a water bath and conc. HCl is added (36 mL). The reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight. After removing the methanol, the resultant solution is basified using conc. NaOH (pH 11). The water phase is extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic layer are dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (6.4 g, 88%).
