Reaction Steps

2 g of 60% sodium hydride in paraffin oil were added to a solution of 10 g (0.05 mol) of 4-methylbenzhydrol in 100 ml of anhydrous xylene. The reaction mixture was refluxed for half an hour and then 12.7 g (0.05 mol) of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-4-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)piperazine (German Pat. appl. 2.431.178) in 50 ml of xylene were added dropwise. The reaction mixture was refluxed for another three hours and then cooled and poured into water. The organic layer was separated off, washed with water and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (Silicagel) with chloroform/ethylacetate/methanol/ammonia (25:25:1:0.5) as the eluent which yielded 1-[2-[(4-Methylphenyl)phenylmethoxy]ethyl]-4-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)piperazine.
