Reaction Steps

A solution of diethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylmalonate (16.8 g) in 150 ml of dimethylsulfoxide is heated to 90-100° C., then N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine (27.9 g) is added and the reaction mixture is heated for additional 4 hours. The mixture is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The pooled organic extracts are washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase is basified with 1 N sodium hydroxide to pH=8-9 and it is extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts are collected and are washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue is crystallized from diethylether petroleum ether 1:1 to give 6.5 g of the product, m.p. 63-64° C.
