Procedure

In a dry flask were carefully placed 5.67 g (150 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride to which were added 110 ml of absolute ether. The suspension was flushed with nitrogen and cooled to -5° C. Then a solution of 25 g (73.0 mmol) of 2-carboxyethyl-1,4-di-phenylmethyl piperazine in 110 ml of absolute ether was added dropwise. After complete addition the suspension was heated under reflux for three hours, cooled in an ice-bath. Excess of hydride was carefully destroyed with 6.3 ml of water. Insoluble material was filtered off and the ether layer was washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. After removing of the solvent it was obtained 18.85 g. (86%) of title compound. MP 77° C.
