Hydrochloric Acid → N-ethyl-3-methyl-4-(piperazin-1-yl)benzamide hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 4-(4-(ethylcarbamoyl)-2-methylphenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.9323 g, 2.68 mmol) was diluted with 4.0M HCl in dioxane (8 mL) and stirred for 30 min. The thick white precipitate that formed was diluted with ethyl ether (10 mL) and stirred until a fine suspension resulted. The precipitate was filtered under nitrogen, washed with ether (5 mL) and dried in vacuo to afford N-ethyl-3-methyl-4-(piperazin-1-yl)benzamide hydrochloride (0.7528 g, 2.65 mmol, 99% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.10 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 3 H) 2.29 (s, 3 H) 3.00-3.14 (m, 4 H) 3.16-3.32 (m, 6 H) 7.07 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 1 H) 7.62-7.71 (m, 2 H) 8.34 (t, J=5.43 Hz, 1 H) 9.17 (br. s., 2 H). ESI-MS: m/z 248.2 (M+H)+.
