Procedure

To a stirred solution of 21.6 g of N,N-dibenzyl-N'-(2-methoxyphenyl)-ethylenediamine in 400 ml methylene chloride was added 12.9 g of sodium carbonate. To this mixture, a solution of 8.42 g of chloroacetylchloride in 100 ml methylene chloride was added dropwise over 30 minutes and stirred for 1 hour. Water (500 ml) was added, the organic phase separated, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue (27.9 g) in a flask was immersed in a 180° oil bath and the formed benzylchloride removed by distillation. The crude material was chromatrographed on 250 g silica gel using ether for elution. The appropriate fractions were evaporated to dryness and the solid recrystallized from isopropylether to yield 11.0 g 4-benzyl-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-piperazinone in the form of yellowish crystals, mp 109°-111°, pure by TLC (ether on silica gel).
