Benzoyl chloride → N-(1-(Phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a biphasic solution of 4-amino-1-benzylpiperidine (6.0 g, 31.6 mmol), K2CO3 (8.71 g, 63.1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (200 mL) and water (100 mL) was added benzoyl chloride (4.86 g, 34.7 mmol) in 20 mL of CH2Cl2 at 0° C. with stirring. After stirring for 4 h at room temperature, the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain 1-benzyl-4-benzamidopiperidine (8.16 g, 87% yield) as a white solid. It was used in the next step without purification.
