1-[4-(3-aminopropyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanone

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To 4-chloro-N-(3-chlorophenyl)pyrimidin-2-amine (0.5 g, 2.09 mmol) in THF (13 mL) is added DIPEA (0.73 mL, 4.18 mmol) followed by 1-(4-(3-aminopropyl)-piperazin-1-yl)ethanone, 22, (0.77 g, 4.18 mmol). The resulting mixture is refluxed for 12 hours after which the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and the solvent removed in vacuo. To the resulting residue is added water (50 mL) and the solution is washed with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers are dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue which is obtained is purified over silica (10% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford 0.173 g (10% yield) of the desired compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ1.67-1.75 (m, 2H), 1.97 (s, 3H), 2.27-2.40 (m, 6H), 3.37-3.42 (m, 6H), 5.96 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 6.87 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (bs, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (bs, 1H), 8.13 (bs, 1H), 9.19 (s, 1H).
