Participants

Reaction Steps

A flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap and a reflux condenser was charged with 1-acetyl-piperdin-4-one (100 g, 0.71 mol) and toluene (1 L). Piperidine (63.4 g, 0.75 mol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.27 g, 1.4 mmol, 0.2 mol %) were added, and the resulting solution was heated at reflux for 8 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and concentrated to give a crude product which was used directly in the next reaction.
