1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-4-trichloroacetylpiperazine (II), prepared from 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (I) and trichloroacetyl chloride, was treated with chlorosulfonic acid to give the sulfonyl chloride (III). Coupling of chloride (III) with 2,5-dibromo-3-fluoroaniline (IV) afforded sulfonamide (IV). Finally, removal of the trichloroacetyl protecting group under basic conditions provided the title piperazine derivative.
