Reaction Steps

To 17.7 g. of N-(α-cyano-3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)piperazine was added 60 ml. of benzene and then 5.3 g. of pyridine. To the resulting solution was added dropwise 7.9 g. of pyrrolidylcarbonylmethyl chloride dissolved in 20 ml. of benzene over a period of about 10 minutes with stirring at room temperature. After dropping, the temperature was raised slowly and the mixture to separate benzene layer which was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off to give 15 g. of N-(α-cyano-3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-N'-pyrrolidinocarbonylmethylpiperazine as an oily substance. This product was dissolved in benzene and the resultant solution was saturated with dry hydrochloric gas to separate crystal which was collected by filtration. Recrystrallization from iso-propanol afforded N-(α-cyano-3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-N'-pyrrolidinocarbonylmethylpiperazine hydrochloride monohydrate having a melting point of 155° to 157° C.
