The alkylation of phenylacetylene (I) with AlMe3 and ZnCl2CP2 gives the alpha-methylstyrene (II), which is treated with paraformaldehyde and BuLi to yield 3-phenyl-2-buten-1-ol (III). The reaction of (III) with NCS and DMS affords the butenyl chloride (IV), which is treated with trichlorosilane, TEA and CuCl to provide the allylic trichlorosilane (V). The condensation of (V) with benzaldehyde (VI) by means of the chiral catalyst (VII) and tetrabutylammonium iodide in dichloromethane gives the chiral diphenylcarbinol (VIII), which is submitted to hydroboration by means of 9-BBN and NaBO3 to yield the diol (IX). The selective, two step reduction of one phenyl group of (IX) with H2 over Rh/alumina and H2 over Pt/C affords the chiral cyclohexyl-butanediol derivative (X), which is oxidized by means of (COCl)2, DMSO and TEA in dichloromethane to provide the keto-aldehyde (XI). Finally, this compound is reductocondensed with 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (XII) by means of NaBH(OAc)3 in 1,2-dichloroethane to give the target disubstituted piperazine.
