Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-1-piperazinyl]-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one (1.33 g, described above) in methanol (20 ml) and chloroform (5 ml), sodium borohydride (0.31 g) was added portionwise over a period of one hr. The solvent was then removed under vacuum. The residue was taken up in chloroform, washed with water, ammonium chloride solution followed by water, dried and evaporated to give the title compound (1.33 g): mp 122°-124° C.; ir(CHCl3) 3420, 1565, 1260 and 1140 cm-1 ; uv max(MeOH) 352 (ε=10040), 256 (ε=15660) and 227 nm (ε=20250); nmr(CDCl3) δ2.6 (m, 6H), 3.3 (m, 4H), 3.85 (s, 6H), 4.7 (m,1H) and 6.8 (m,6H); and Anal. Calcd for C21H26N2O4 : C, 68.08% H, 7.08% N, 7.56% and Found: C, 67.78% H, 7.06% N, 7.36%.
