Reaction Steps

Jones' reagent (116.1 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-n-heptyl-3-hydroxy-1-n-octyl-piperidine (16.6 g) in acetone (160 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours and filtered through kieselguhr. The residue was washed several times with ether and the combined organic solutions were extracted with 5% sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous phase was washed with ether and the combined organic phases were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo. The product was purified by chromatography to give 2-n-heptyl-1-n-octyl-piperidin-3-one as a yellow gum (5.71 g, 34% yield).
