Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-ethoxy-4-[N-(α-phenyl-2-piperidino-benzyl)-aminocarbonylmethyl]-benzyl chloride (2.6 g, 5.45 mmol) in dimethylsulphoxide (10 ml) is added dropwise at 50-60° C. to sodium cyanide (0.32 g, 6.5 mmol) in dimethylsulphoxide (40 ml). The mixture is then stirred for 5 hours at 60° C., added to water and extracted with chloroform. The extract is concentrated by evaporation in vacuo. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (toluene/ethyl acetate=5/1).
