Participants

Reaction Steps

The 1-(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzhydryl)piperazine fumarate obtained in Example 3 (3.0 g; 5.3 millimoles) was added to 30 ml of a 20% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The resulting oily product was extracted with 30 ml of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1.6 g of 1-(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzhydryl)-piperazine as an oil.
