Potassium Iodide → 1-[4,4-Bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]homopiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

24 g (0.24 mol) of 1,4-diazacycloheptane, 7.8 g (0.024 mol) of 4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl bromide and 0.14 g of potassium iodide were stirred in 60 ml of dimethylformamide at room temperature for 4 hours. The solvent was stripped off in vacuo, the residue was taken up in methylene chloride, the mixture was extracted by shaking with 2N HCl, the acid phase was brought to pH 11 with concentrated NaOH and extracted with methylene chloride and the extracts were dried and concentrated.
