Synthesis

edit
 
Thieme ChemDrug Synthesis:[2] Patent:[3] ~94%:[4]

The reaction of 1-Naphthol [90-15-3] (1) with Epichlorohydrin [106-89-8] (2) in the presence of alkali led to 2-[(1-Naphthyloxy)Methyl]Oxirane [2461-42-9] (3). Further addition of 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)Piperazine [35386-24-4] (4) completed the synthesis of naftopidil (5).
