Procedure

A mixture of the product from step (ii) (1.79 g), 4-chloropyridine hydrochloride (1.50 g), sodium hydrogen carbonate (2.86 g) in 3-methyl 1-butanol (25 ml) was heated at reflux temperature for 16 hours. The cooled mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica, eluting with methanol/dichloromethane (1:2 v/v) gave 4-acetylamino-1-(4-pyridyl)piperidine as a foam, 0.69 g: NMR(d6DMSO) δ 8.10(2H,d), 7.80(1H,bd), 6.80(2H,dd), 3.82(3H,m), 2.93(2H,dt), 1.78(3H,s), 1.77(2H,m), 1.33(2H,dq); m/e 220 (M+H)+.
