2-Bromopyridine → 3-Methyl-1-pyridin-2-ylpiperazine hydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Methylpiperazine (1.0 g, 0.01 mol, racemic mixture) and 2-bromopyridine (10 mL, 0.1 mol) were combined and heated at 120° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 23° C. and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The layers were separated, and the water layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and methanol to afford 460 mg (26% yield) of the title compound as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.27 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3H), 2.90 (dd, J=10.5, 14.1 Hz, 1H), 3.10 (m, 2H), 3.40 (m, 2H), 4.32 (m, 2H), 6.77 (dd, J=4.8, 6.9 Hz, 1H), 6.98 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (m, 1H), 8.15 (m, 1H), 8.63 (bs, 1H), 8.92 (bs, 1H); MS (APCI) m/e 178 (M+H)+.
