Participants

Reaction Steps

21.6 g of 1-diphenylmethyl-3-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-piperazine (cf. Example 2) are dissolved with 5.2 g of triethylamine in 200 ml of dry toluene. Then a solution of 5.4 g of chloroformic acid ethyl ester in 50 ml of toluene is added dropwise with stirring. Thereafter, the mixture is stirred for a further 2 hours. After filtration, the filtrate is washed free of halide with water and evaporated to dryness. A yellowish oil, which is recrystallized from diisopropyl ether, is obtained as the residue. 22.7 g (94 percent of theory) of 1-diphenylmethyl-3-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-carbethoxy-piperazine are obtained. m.p. = 113° C.
