Piperidine → 4-(6-Piperidinohexyl)3,5-dioxomorpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 19.6 grams (53.2 millimoles) of 6-(3,5-dioxomorpholino)hexyl p-toluenesulfonate in 54 milliliters of tertiary butyl alcohol was added 5.3 milliliters of tertiary (53 millimoles) of piperidine in 54 milliliters of tertiary butyl alcohol. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux temperature for about 22 hours to obtain 4-(6-piperidinohexyl)-3,5-dioxomorpholine.p-toluenesulfonate product which crystallized from tertiary butyl alcohol-ether mixture in a yield of 13.45 grams (56 percent) as an off-white solid, m.p. 125°-128° C. A portion of this product after purification by (a) chromatographing on Silicar CC4 Special (Silica gel, product of Mallinkrodt) employing 10:1 dichloromethane-methanol as eluant, (b) recovering from the effluent and (c) recrystallizing from tertiary butyl alcohol-ether, was a white solid, m.p. 121°-122.5° C.
