Preparation of derivatives of 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine as potential antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic agents

This paper describes the preparation of twenty-eight derivatives of 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine as potential antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic agents. In twenty-six of the preparations a chloro nitrogen heterocycle was caused to react with an excess of 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine in the absence of solvent. A specific example is given above.
