Reaktionsschritte

In two neck round bottom flask equipped with condenser pressure equalizing funnel and calcium chloride guard tube, a solution of 28.0 (0.10 moles) of 4-anilino N-phenethyl piperidine prepared in step II, in 55 ml of dichloroethane was taken. To this solution, 9.25 gm (0.10 moles) of propionyl chloride was added drop wise through pressure equalizing funnel with continuous stirring. After the completion of the addition, the mixture was further stirred for 5 hrs. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was washed with 20% sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous phase was extracted with 2×50 ml of dichloromethane The combined organic extract was dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated to give crude fentanyl. The crude product was recrystallised from petroleum ether (60 to 80° C.) to give colourless crystals of pure fentanyl having mp 82 to 83° C.
