Uses
1-Amino-4-methylpiperazine has been used:
in synthesis of pyrazolo-pyrazine, -pyridine derivatives and 2-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)iminomethyl]phenol
as a solvating and stabilizing agent in the preparation of uniform Ag nanoparticles (<10nm)
synthesis of N-(4-Fluorobenzylidene)-4-methylpiperazin1-amine
synthesis of 4-Methyl-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene) piperazin-1-amine
synthesis of N-(3,4-Dichlorobenzylidene)-4- methylpiperazin-1-amine
synthesis of N-(4-(Diethylamino)benzylidene)-4- methylpiperazin-1-amine
synthesis of N-(2,5-Dimethoxybenzylidene)-4- methylpiperazin-1-amine
synthesis of 4-Methyl-N-((5-nitrofuran-2- yl)methylene)piperazin-1-amine
Preparation
1-Amino-4-methylpiperazine is obtained from piperazine hexahydrate through the steps of methylation, hydrolysis, nitrosation and reduction.
1-Amino-4-methylpiperazine is synthesized by chlorination of methyl(diethanol)amine (I) and subsequent cyclization of the di(chloroethyl)amine (II) obtained in aqueous hydrazine.
Application
1-Amino-4-methylpiperazine, a derivative of piperazine, is used widely as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents. It is an important intermediate for Rifampicin. Rifampicin , known as rifampin, is an antibiotic used to treat a several kinds of bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, leprosy and Legionnare's disease.
