Potassium Hydroxide → N-(4-piperidinyl)-9-xanthenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g. of N-(N-ethoxycarbonyl-4- piperidinyl)-9-xanthenylamine, prepared as in Example 14, and 25 g. of potassium hydroxide in 125 ml. of aqueous ethanol is heated at reflux for three hours and then cooled and added with stirring to 1 liter of ice water.
