Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(diphenylmethyl)-α-phenyl-1-piperidinebutanol and 400 ml of 37% HCl was refluxed for 16 hours after which the solvent was removed at reduced pressure. The remaining residue was dissolved in 1 liter of toluene, treated with charcoal and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to 500 ml, and a solid formed which was recrystallized from butanone and toluene to give the desired product, M.P. 188.5°-209° C.
