Triethylamine → 1-Cinnamyl-4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.0 g of cinnamyl bromide were added to a mixture of 7.4 g of 1-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine dihydrochloride hemihydrate, 6.1 g of triethylamine and 100 ml of reagent ethanol. The mixture was refluxed for 4 hours and then stirred overnight. After removal of the solvent in vacuo, water was added to the residue. The product was then extracted with ether and the extract was dried (magnesium sulfate) and concentrated. The resulting oil was chromatographed on silica gel (methylene chloride/methanol: 9/1) and precipitated with ethereal hydrochloric acid to give 7.4 g (70% of theory) of 1-cinnamyl-4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine dihydrochloride.
