Clocinizine is a first-generation antihistamine of the diphenylmethylpiperazine class. It is marketed in Spain in combination with phenylpropanolamine under the brand name Senioral.[1]

Synthesis[edit]

Synthesis:[2] Patent:[3]

The reduction of 4-Chlorobenzophenone [134-85-0] (1) with NBH gives 4-Chlorobenzhydrol [119-56-2] (2). Halogenation of the alcohol in muriatic acid afforded 4-Chlorobenzhydryl chloride [134-83-8] (3). Alkylation with one equivalent of piperazine gives 1-(4-Chlorobenzhydryl)piperazine [303-26-4] (4). Alkylation of the remaining nitrogen with Cinnamyl Bromide [4392-24-9] (5) completed the synthesis of Clocinizine (6).

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
