Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-2-chloropyridine (0.96 g, 5 mmol, Aldrich), piperazine (0.86 g, 10 mmol, Aldrich) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1 mL, 5.8 mmol, Aldrich) was heated in a microwave synthesizer for 40 min at 200° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 10% MeOH in dichloromethane to give the title compound as a white amorphous solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 242 (M+1).
