Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-chloromethylphenylmethyl)acetamide (7.7 g), 1-acetylpiperazine (5.0 g) and potassium carbonate (8.1 g) in dimethylformamide (50 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 5 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into water (250 ml) and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give a yellow oil. The obtained yellow oil was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent; chloroform:methanol=9:1) to give the title compound (11.5 g) as a colorless transparent oil.
