Reaction Steps

1.2 equivalents of 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine hydrochloride was dissolved in water and the solution made strongly basic (pH 12-14) with 10% NaOH. The 2-phase mixture (the product is a yellow oil) was extracted three times with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). The MIBK solution resulting was placed in a single neck round bottom flask fitted with magnetic stirrer, condenser and nitrogen atmosphere, and a Dean-Stark trap. To this solution was added 1 equivalent of ethyl 4-bromobutyrate, 1.1 equivalent of Na2CO3 and a catalytic quantity of KI. The resulting mixture was then refluxed for 4 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Inorganic solids were filtered off and the filtrate was condensed to give the title compound yellow oil. Yield 75%.
