Participants

Reaction Steps

One g of 1-[2-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-4-[(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminocarbonylmethyl]piperazine is dissolved in 15 ml of pyridine and cooled in an ice bath to 0°-5° C. Acetic anhydride (0.6 g) is slowly added and the reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hr. After the addition of 100 ml of water, the reaction mixture is extracted twice with 100-ml portions of diethylether. After combining, the ether portion is washed twice with 100 ml of water and evaporated to dryness to produce 1-[2-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-2-acetoxyethyl]-4-[(2,6-dimethylphenyl)aminocarbonylmethyl]piperazine as an oil.
