Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

55% Sodium hydride (0.65 g) was suspended in anhydrous dioxane (30 ml), followed by dropwise addition of N-[2-hydroxy-3-{4-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl}propyl]-phthalimide (4.7 g) dissolved in dioxane (50 ml) under nitrogen gas stream and at room temperature. The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. and stirred for 1 hour. Then, allyl bromide (1.8 g) was dropped slowly into the mixture at 40° C. and the thus formed mixture was stirred for 3 hours over a water bath at 75° C. The reaction mixture was thereafter cooled, ice water was added thereto, and it was then extracted with ether. After washing the extract twice with water, it was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. After washing out the mineral oil, derived from sodium hydride, with n-hexane, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, followed by addition of a solution which had been obtained by dissolving oxalic acid (1.2 g) in ethyl acetate. After heating the resulting mixture, a small amount of IPE (isopropyl ether) was added. The thus obtained mixture was allowed to cool. Precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to obtain the desired compound (4.3 g; yield 69%).
