Reaction Steps

A mixture of 25.8 grams of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-cis-3,5-dimethylpiperazine, 38.6 grams of propyl 4-toluenesulfonate, 90 ml. of absolute ethanol and 9.5 grams of sodium carbonate is stirred and heated to reflux. After 30 minutes of reflux, vigorous evolution of carbon dioxide begins and continues for about 5 hours. Refluxing is continued for a total of 22 hours. The reaction mixture is then cooled and filtered and the solvent is evaporated. The resulting residue is mixed with 300 ml. of aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide solution and the mixture is extracted with ethyl ether. The ether extract is washed successively with 100 ml. of aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide and 100 ml. of water and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic solution is then treated with charcoal and the solvent is evaporated to leave a residue which is purified by chromatography to give 4-ethoxycarbonyl-cis-2,6-dimethyl-1-propylpiperazine.
