The condensation of 1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (I) with 2-chloronitrobenzene (II) by means of K2CO3 in refluxing butanol gives 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[2-(2-nitrophenylamino)ethyl]piperazine (III), which is finally condensed with cyclohexylcarbonyl chloride (IV) by means of TEA in dichloroethane to afford the target amide.
