A synthetic method of producing (E)- and (Z)-isomers of 1-benzhydryl-4-cinnamylpiperazines in a specific ratio from corresponding benzhydrylpiperazine is described. Of the three compounds synthesized (5a-c), the ratio of E/Z-isomers remained around 15:85. The key intermediates, 1-benzhydryl-4-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)piperazine derivatives (3a-c), were prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction of benzhydrylpiperazines (2a-c) with chloroacetaldehyde dimethylacetal in good yield (up to 88%). Hydrolysis of 3a-c gave the corresponding aldehydes 4a-c, which when subjected to the Wittig reaction followed by column purification to afford 1a-c (E-isomers) and 6a-c (Z-isomers) in pure form. The isolated compounds were characterized by NMR and mass spectral analysis. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
