Piperazine → HCID 22036461, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Piperazine (1.29 g, 15.0 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.69 g, 5.0 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-(3-bromophenoxy)ethyl 3-chloro-2-pyrazinyl ether (1.65 g, 5.00 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was heated at reflux for 21 h, allowed to cool, concentrated and the residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. The layers were separated and the organic phase was washed with water and brine, and dried over MgSO4. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (gradient: PhMe to PhMe/MeOH/Et3N, 8:1:1) gave 1.61 g (85%) of the title compound as a pale yellow oil that slowly solidified on standing: mp 62-63° C. Anal. (C16H19BrN4O2) C, H, N.
