Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Phenylpiperidine (1.8 g, 0.011 mol) and 2,3-epoxypropyl-n-hexadecylether (2.98 g, 0.01 mol) were combined and heated to 180° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled, acetone was added, and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The resulting solids were collected and recrystallized from hot acetone to give pure product (2.3 g, 50% yield): mp 64°-65° C.
