Chem. 1993, 36, 2075-2083 and 1,1′-carbonylbis(1H-imidazole) (3.2 g), triethylamine (2.8 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 1 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (1.5 g, yield 65%) as a colorless oil from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. MS 233 (M+1). prepared the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: To a mixture of (4-benzylpiperazin-2-yl)methanol (6.4 g, 30 mmol) prepared according to J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 2075-2083, water (100 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) were successively added potassium carbonate (8.3 g, 60 mmol) with chloroacetyl chloride (3.6 mL, 45 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethanol (100 ml), potassium hydroxide (2 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (2.6 g, yield 35%) as a yellow oil.
