A kind of Antihistamines, Azelastine HCl which known as modern H1-blockers, was synthesized by four step process using phthalic anhydride, 4-chlorophenylacetic acid, hydrazine 2HCl. The first step was the reaction of removing carboxyl group and hydroxyl group and the second step was saponification of 3-(4-chlorobenzylidene)phthalide. The third step was the nucleophilic addition reactions of primary amines and the fourth step was addition reaction of N-methyl-1-aza-bicyclo[3,2,0]heptane to 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1-(2H)phthalazinone. As a result, product was analyzed by FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR and could be obtained with a yield of 80%.
