Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 1-benzyl-4,4-diethoxy-piperidin-3-ylamine 16 (600 mg, 2.2 mmol), and m-tolyl isothiocyanate (328 mg, 2.2 mmol) in 10 mL chloroform was heated at 60° C. for 2 hr. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was treated with 10 mL each of 10% hydrochloric acid and dioxane and heated at reflux for 1 h. After removal of the solvent the residue was dissolved in 50 mL ethanol followed by addition of Raney Nickel (ca. 3.0 g). The suspension was heated at reflux for 2 h then allowed to cool to room temperature. The solids were removed by filtration. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was diluted with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and extracted into chloroform. The organic layer was dried over potassium carbonate, filtered and concentrated to provide 500 mg of 5-benzyl-1-m-tolyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine 17a as a light brown oil, [M+H]+=304.
