Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.7 g (52.1 mmol) 1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-phenylpiperazine and 13.5 g (54.6 mmol) (R)-4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenylacetic acid, cyanomethyl ester in 125 dry THF was stirred at room temperature for 40 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was triturated with ether to give the crude amide as a white solid. The solid was dissolved in 35 ml. CH2Cl2 and placed on a column of 170 g Woelm basic alumina (grade 3) made up in CHCl2. Elution with 1 liter CH2Cl2 furnished essentially pure material. Crystallization from acetone afforded the end product, m.p. 124°-125°. A second crop, m.p. 121°-123° was obtained from the mother liquors.
