2-Pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl-piperidine → 1-(Indene-1-carbonyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

From 2.36 g of 2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)piperidine, 2.5 g of indene-1-carbonyl chloride and 4.88 ml of triethylamine. 1.4 g of 1-(indene-1-carbonyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)piperidine was obtained using a procedure similar to that in Example 2. In a mixed solvent of methanol, water and ethanol (2:1:1), this compound was catalytically reduced with 10% palladium on carbon. After completion of the reduction, the catalyst was filtered off. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was treated with a 4N 1,4-dioxane solution of hydrogen chloride to obtain 1.05 g of the title compound, melting at 218°-221° C.
