Sodium Hydroxide → (4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)(cyclohexyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 21.2 g (0.12 mole) of 1-benzylpiperazine in 100 ml of CHCl3 was added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes a solution of 15.0 g (0.10 mole) of cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride in 50 ml of CHCl3. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature during 45 minutes and was made basic with 5 g of sodium hydroxide in 50 ml of water. The nonaqueous layer was separated, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. The residue was distilled b.p. 150°-56° C. at 0.1-0.2 mmHg to give 21.2 g of 1-cyclohexanecarbonyl-4-benzylpiperazine.
