Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 9.4 g (49.2 mmole) of 3-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperidine and 10.2 ml (73.8 mmole) of triethylamine in 120 ml of toluene, at 0° C., under nitrogen, was added dropwise, a solution of 12.4 g (73.8 mmole) of 3-phenylpropionyl chloride in 45 ml of toluene. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, and then it was diluted with an equal volume of diethyl ether. The solid was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 23.7 g of 1-(3-phenylpropionyl)-3-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperidine.
