Potassium tert-butoxide → HCID 15117076, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution, under nitrogen, of 9.1 g of 1-[(phenylhydrazono)(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-4-phenylpiperazine in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added, dropwise, a solution of 3.3 g of potassium t-butoxide in 35 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours and concentrated. The concentrate was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to a solid. The solid was flash chromatographed on silica gel utilizing hexane/ethyl acetate (30%) as the eluent. Concentration of the appropriate fractions followed by recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane gave 2.1 g (25%) of 1-phenyl-3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)-1H-indazole, mp 129-130°.
