Synthesis edit

 
Thieme Patents:[3][4] Revised:[5] China:[6]

The base catalyzed ether formation between 2-Benzylphenol [28994-41-4] (1) and 1,2-dichloropropane (2) gives 1-benzyl-2-(2-chloropropoxy)benzene [85909-36-0] (3). Displacement of the remaining halogen with piperidine completes the synthesis of benproperine (4).
