Procedure

A mixture of 4.78 g of cis-1-methyl-3-phenyl-4-piperidinol of Example 22, 7.21 g of triphenylphosphine, 2.97 g of p-cresol and 125 ml of anhydrous benzene is cooled to 6° C. and a solution of 4.79 g of diethyl azodicarboxylate in 125 ml of benzene is added dropwise under nitrogen over a 90-minute period. The temperature is allowed to rise gradually so that at completion of the addition it is 22° C. After stirring for 18 hours at room temperature, the suspended solid is filtered off, washed with hexane, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to an oil. This material is triturated with 200 ml of hexane for 90 minutes, the liquid is decanted, and the solid triturated for a few minutes with another 200 ml of hexane. Concentration in vacuo of the hexane extracts affords an oil, which is dissolved in 250 ml of dichloromethane and extracted with 2 N HCl solution. The dichloromethane phase is washed successively with 10% aqueous NaOH solution, water, and saturated aqueous NaCl solution, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to a mixture of a solid and an oil. This mixture is triturated with hexane, filtered, and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to afford an oil. This oil is chromatographed on silica gel, using acetone and then 25% methanol/acetone as solvent. The fractions containing product are combined and concentrated in vacuo to an oil which is taken up in ether and filtered through a Celite pad. The filtrate affords an oil which is triturated with boiling hexane and filtered hot. The filtrate is cooled and the resultant precipitated solid is filtered off and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to yield an oil. This oil is dissolved in 50 ml of ether and added dropwise to a solution of 1.36 g of maleic acid in 25 ml of ether. The resulting solid is filtered, washed with ether, and dried to afford crude salt, melting near 100° C. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate affords a solid of trans-1-methyl-3-phenyl-4-(4-tolyl)piperidine maleate, mp s 130°, 131°-132° C.
