The reaction mixture is then evaporated in a vacuum and the residue is taken up in diethyl ether, washed with water, extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid, rendered alkaline and the aqueous mixture extracted with diethyl ether. After evaporation of the solvent, there are obtained 10.5 g of 4-(2-nitrophenoxymethyl)-piperidine (22% of theory); b.p. 130°-132° C./0.01 mm. Hg.
