Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.7 g (52.1 mmol) 1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-phenylpiperazine and 13.5 g (54.6 mmol) (R)-4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenylacetic acid, cyanomethyl ester in 125 dry THF was stirred at room temperature for 40 hours: The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was triturated with ether to give the crude amide as a white solid. The solid was dissolved in 35 ml. CH2Cl2 and placed on a column of 170 g Woelm basic alumina (grade 3) made up in CHCl2. Elution with 1 liter CH2Cl2 furnished essentially pure material. Crystallization from acetone afforded the end product, m.p. 124°-125°. A second crop, m.p. 121°-123° was obtained from the mother liquors.
