Dimethylformamide → HCID 14576903, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.32 g of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-piperidone, 25 ml of dimethylformamide, 5 ml of formic acid, and 1.0 g of palladium-carbon was refluxed for 6 hours. The catalyst was filtered off, and the filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution was washed with water and an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and dried. After removal of the solvent, the residue was recrystallized from a mixture of isopropyl ether and n-hexane to give 1.25 g of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-phenyl-2-piperidone as colorless prisms.
