Methyl Isocyanate → HCID 14649990, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.89 g of 4-phenyl-4-(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)piperidine in 25 ml of benzene was added a solution of 0.68 g of methyl isocyanate in 25 ml of benzene. The reaction mixture was stirred for four hours at room temperaure. Evaporation of the volatiles afforded a solid which was purified by means of high pressure liquid chromatography (silica gel; elution with 50% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane). Recrystallization from 30% hexane/isopropyl ether yielded 2.46 g (54.19%) 1-(N-methylamino)carbonyl-4-phenyl-4-(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)piperidine, m.p. 118°-120° C.
