Procedure

50 g of 1-diphenylmethyl-3-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-piperazine (cf. Example 2) are dissolved in 200 ml of benzene and 400 ml of methanol and heated for 48 hours in a pressure vessel at 60° C. with addition of 22 g of ethylene oxide. Subsequently, the solution is evaporated to dryness. The residue is dissolved in 500 ml of diethylether, combined with 60 ml of 2N HCl, and vigorously stirred. The organic phase is separated and washed halide-free with water. The aqueous acid extract is alkalized with ammonium hydroxice solution and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract is dried, filtered, and the solvent is removed by distillation. 54 g (98 percent of theory) of 1-diphenylmethyl-3-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-hydroxyethyl-piperazine are obtained as a colorless resin.
