HCID 358294, compound → 4-Piperidineacetic acid, 1-benzoyl-, ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

16.4 g. of the above piperidine were dissolved in 300 ml of ethanol to which was added 1.0 g. of 10 percent Pd/C. The mixture was placed in a low pressure hydrogenation apparatus and hydrogenated at a pressure of about 60 psi. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvents evaporated from the hydrogenation mixture in vacuo. N-benzoyl-4-(carbethoxymethyl)piperidine formed in the above reaction remained as a residue and was purified by distillation. A yield of about 15.86 g. of the compound was obtained distilling in the range 176°-178° C. at 0.20 mm Hg. The compound also crystallized from hexane in colorless prisms, mp=47°-48° C. The compound had the following physical characteristics.
