Piperidine → Silperisone hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

After adding 32.7 g of piperidine to a solution containing 32.5 g of chloromethyl-dimethyl-(4-fluorobenzyl)-silane in 40 ml of xylene, the reaction mixture is refluxed for 6 hours under stirring, then the precipitated piperidine hydrochloride is filtered at 20° C. and washed in 3 portions with a total of 60 ml of benzene. The filtrate is combined with the benzene washings and washed in 3 portions with a total of 150 ml of water and the organic phase is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtering the drying agent, the filtrate is evaporated to solvent-free to give the crude named compound as an oily liquid in the base form in a yield of 40 g. This crude product is purified by distillation under reduced pressure to give the title compound in a yield of 36.8 g (92%) with a boiling point of 97°-98° C./0.5 torr.
