Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 7.6 g of 1-(1-phenylethyl)piperazine, 3.2 g of 1-bromo-3-chloropropane and 50 ml of reagent ethanol was refluxed for 5 hours. The solvent was then removed under vacuum, 75 ml of water were added, and the mixture was extracted with ether (3×150 ml). The ether extract was evaporated to an oil and chromatographed on silica, the eluant being CH2Cl2 /CH3OH/ammonium hydroxide (45:5:1). The resulting yellow oil was dissolved in 150 ml of ether and precipitated with excess anhydrous hydrogen chloride to yield 6.1 g (51% of theory) of 1,3-bis[4-(1-phenylethyl) -1-piperazinyl]propane tetrahydrochloride. The product was recrystallized from ethanol/water to yield a white crystalline solid (m.p. 236°-246° C., with decomp.).
