Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)amine prepared in Reference Example 108 and 10% palladium/carbon (0.53 g) in ethanol (50 ml) was stirred at room temperature under an atmospheric pressure of hydrogen for 6 hours, and then at 60° C. for 10 hours. After the catalyst was removed by filtration through Celite, 10% palladium/carbon (0.53 g) was added to the filtrate, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. under an atmospheric pressure of hydrogen for 8 hours. After the catalyst was removed by filtration through Celite, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was dried in vacuo to afford piperazin-1-yl-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)amine (1.76 g, yield 90%) as a colorless crystalline powder.
