Toluene → HCID 19370246, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.2 g (7 mmole) of 4-(diphenylmethylene)-1-(2-chloroethyl)piperidine [prepared as described in step (b) above], 4.8 g (55.7 mmole) of anhydrous piperazine and 60 ml of toluene was heated under reflux overnight. At the end of this time, water was added to the reaction mixture, the toluene layer was separated, and a 10% w/v aqueous solution of acetic acid was added to the toluene layer to extract the desired compound. The aqueous layer was separated and made alkaline by the addition of a 10% w/v aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, after which it was extracted with diethyl ether. The diethyl ether was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, to obtain the title compound as crystals, melting at 73°-75° C., in a yield of 86%.
