1-Aminopiperazine → Piperazin-1-yl-(5-chlorobenzofuran-2-yl methylene)amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Aminopiperazine (29 g, 287 mmol) was dissolved in isopropyl alcohol (173 ml), to which 5-chlorobenzofuran-2-aldehyde (34.52 g, 191 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford piperazin-1-yl-(5-chlorobenzofuran-2-yl methylene)amine (49.49 g, yield 98%) as a yellow crystalline powder.
