Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 67049536, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[4-(4-acetyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-ethanone (prepared following the procedure described in Example 16 STEP A, 533 mg, 2.16 mmol), 4-formylcinnamic acid (381 mg, 2.16 mmol) and 1.7 M KOH (2.54 ml) in EtOH (15 ml) and water (3 ml) was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting precipitate was filtered to get 260 mg of (E)-3-(4-{(E)-3-[4-(4-acetyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-3-oxo-propenyl}-phenyl)-acrylic acid as its potassium salt. The mother liquors were acidified with 10% HCl and the resulting green precipitate was filtered to give 240 mg of (E)-3-(4-{(E)-3-[4-(4-acetyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-3-oxo-propenyl}-phenyl)-acrylic acid hydrochloride. The mixture of both, the potassium salt and of the hydrochloric salt, was used in the next step without any further purification.
