Potassium Hydroxide → 1,1'-(Dithiodi-2, 1-ethanediyl)bis{4-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl]piperazine} tetrahydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure described in Example 12 is followed using 1[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl]-piperazine (4.8 g), bis(2-chloroethyl) disulfide (1.9 g), potassium hydroxide (5.0 g), and dimethylsulfoxide (50 ml). Workup as described in Example 12 provides an oil which is purified on a silica gel column (methylene chloride:methanol, 9:1). The resulting oil (1.5 g) is precipitated with ethereal hydrochloric acid and recrystallized from water/ethanol to give 1,1'-(dithiodi-2, 1-ethanediyl)bis{4-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl]piperazine} tetrahydrochloride as a white crystalline solid, m.p. 284°-286° C.
