Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-phenylpiperazine 2 (2.59 g, 15.98 mmol) was reacted with N-(2-bromoethyl)phthalimide (8.12 g, 31.96 mmol), Et3N (2.0 mL) and K2CO3 (8.0 g) in DMF (40 mL) and stirred at 70° C. under N2 overnight. After the reaction mixture was cooled down, water (100 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic phase was combined and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under vacuo to give the crude product, which was purified by flash chromatography (Hexane/EtOac=1/1) to furnish 3a, 3.81 g (71%) 1HNMR (CDCl3) 2.68-2.72 (m, 6H, N(CH2)2, CONCH2), 3.12-3.15 (t, J=4.8 Hz, 4H, N(CH2)2), 3.84-3.89 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 6.80-6.82 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 1H, Ar—H), 6.88-6.91 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H, Ar—H), 7.21-7.26 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 2H, Ar—H), 7.69-7.86 (m, 4H, Ar—H).
