Benzyl 4-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate → HCID 49760816, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl 4-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (Preparation 234, 73 g, 0.2 mol) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (200 ml) was refluxed with stirring for 2 hours before concentrating in vacuo. Water (100 ml), sodium hydroxide (10 M aqueous solution, 20 ml) and chloroform (200 ml) were added to the residue. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform (2×200 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with water (200 ml), saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (200 ml), dried over sodium sulphate, filtered through silica gel (100 g, 40/63 μm) and evaporated in vacuo to afford the title compound as white crystals, 40 g, 89% yield.
