Reaction Steps

Scheme-I: A mixture of 2,6-dioxopiperidine (2.60 g, 23.02 mmol), 1-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-3-chloropropane (6.18 g, 23.02 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.38 g, 17.27 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (1.48 g, 4.60 mmol) in acetone (80 ml) was refluxed for 16 hours at 80° C. with stirring. The solvent was evaporated off in vaccuo and the residue suspended in water (60 ml), extracted with chloroform (3×40 ml) and the organic layers combined, washed with water (2×40 ml), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound. The product was purified by column chromatography over flash silica gel (230-400 mesh) using chloroform-methanol (98:1) as eluent; yield 3.58 g (45%), oil.
