4-Bromobenzyl bromide → 1-(4-Bromo-benzyl)-3-isopropyl-piperazine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.7 g of 2-isopropyl-piperazine could be dissolved in acetonitrile and cooled to 0° C. A solution of 0.5 quiv. 4-bromobenzylbromide in acetonitrile could be added dropwise over 1 h. The reaction would be stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture could be concentrated and the residue could be purified by column chromatography (silica, eluent dichloromethane, 0-5% methanol, 0-0.5% dimethylethylamine) to afford 1-(4-bromo-benzyl)-3-isopropyl-piperazine.
