Procedure

A mixture of 0.33 mole (134.7 g.) of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)benzamide, 1.347 liters of glacial acetic acid and 13.5 g. of 5 percent platinum on carbon is reduced in a Parr apparatus at about 30 pounds of hydrogen at room temperature. The reaction is complete in 6-7 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered and the catalyst is washed with isopropyl alcohol. The solution and washings are evaporated to provide a residue. Hexane is added to the residue and the resulting white solid is collected and recrystallized from a mixture of acetone and hexane. A 71 percent yield of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-N-(2-piperidylmethyl)benzamide acetate, m.p. 150° to 152° C., is obtained. By concentrating the residual liquid, an additional 18 percent of product is obtained as a second crop with a melting point of 148°-150° C.
