Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(5-fluoro-2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine (7.29 g, 40.0 mmol), 2-(3-chloropropyl)-1,3-dioxolane (6.62 g, 5.8 mL, 44.0 mmol) and triethylamine (12.5 mL, 90.0 mmol) in 2-butanone (250 mL) was heated to reflux and treated dropwise (1h) with a solution of NaI (3.0 g, 20.0 mmol) in 2-butanone (70 mL). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 12 h then treated dropwise (1 h) with a solution of NaI (3.0 g, 20.0 mmol) in 2-butanone (70 mL) and refluxed for another 12 h. After cooling at 23° C., the solvent was evaporated in vacuo leaving a residue which was solubilized in EtoAC (400 mL). The organic solution was washed with aqueous NaOH solution (20 mL, 2N); the aqueous phase was extracted with EtoAC (2×50 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to dryness. The solution was chromatographed on a silica gel column (4.5×15 cm) using a mixture of 20% MeCN in EtoAc. Appropriate fractions were concentrated in vacuo leaving a pale yellow syrup which crystallized on standing, 10.5 g, mp 54°-55° C. (89%). Recrystallization from EtoAC-pet.ether mixture (1;14) gave an analytical sample, mp 55°-56° C.; 1HNMR (CDCl 3, 200 MHz) δ: 1.5-1.9 (m, 4H), 2.3-2.7 (m, 6H), 3.6-4.1 (m, 8H), 4.8-5.0 (m, 1H), 8.16 (s, 2H); IR (KBr) ν: 1610, 1555, 1489 cm-1 ; UV (EtOH) λ: 244 (ε 17239), 332 (ε 1948);
