A direct conversion of piperazinyl ethanols into chlorides via a classical O -tosylation protocol is observed. The acceleration of the transformation by the piperazine unit is demonstrated. It is found that the reaction goes via the corresponding O -tosylate, which converts spontaneously into chloride with different rate depending on the substrate structure. In the case of pirlindole derivative, partially aromatized chloride formation was observed upon prolongation and/or increased excess of tosyl chloride.
