Reaction Steps

A mixture of 22 g (0.048 mole) of ethyl 4-[(8-phenethyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-ylidene)phenylmethyl]benzoate, 86 mL of 3N NaOH and 200 mL of EtOH was refluxed for 1 h. After cooling the mixture was made acidic with conc. HCl. The solvent was decanted away from the gum which formed. The gum was titurated with Et2O and Et2O/HCl and was placed into a drying oven overnight at 45° C. to yield 19.2 g of 4-[(8-phenethyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-ylidene)phenylmethyl]benzoic acid; mp. 285-290° C. MS m/z (MH+) 425. 1H NMR δ 7.9 (d, 2H); 7.4-7.2 (ar, 12H); 3.7 (bs, 2H); 3.0 (bs, 4H); 2.8 (bd, 2H); 2.2 (t, 2H); 2.0 (m, 2H); 1.65 (m, 2H).
