Abstract
A number of derivatives of methadone and related compounds have been prepared, where the dimethylamino group has been replaced by a 4-substituted piperazino function. The preparation of these compounds involved the reaction of N-ω-cyanoalkyl-N′-carbethoxy piperazines with ethyl magnesium bromide, and various products were obtained. These included replacement of the N′-carbethoxy group by a triethylmethyl function and cleavage of the carbethoxy group. In some cases the ω-cyano group reacted to give the corresponding ketone. Reactions of 1-benzyl-4-carbethoxy piperazine with ethyl magnesium bromide and phenyl magnesium bromide gave no evidence for the formation of the triethylmethyl group. However, cleavage of the carbethoxy group occurred and there was evidence for the formation of the corresponding amide.
