Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound could be made in the following manner: 2 g of 4-Bromobenzyl bromide and 1 equ. piperazine in acetonitrile would be stirred at room temperature and 1.1 g of potassium carbonate would be added. The reaction would be stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution would then be filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude product. Purification would be done by flash chromatography using a methylene chloride/methanol gradient.
