Procedure

A suspension of potassium hydroxide (85%, 18.6 g) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (4.88 g) in toluene (250 ml) was refluxed overnight under nitrogen atmosphere using Deenschtark device. The mixture was cooled to 80° C., to which a solution of 2-piperidone (25.0 g) and 4-methoxybenzylchloride (51.3 g) in toluene (50 ml) were added dropwise. After refluxing for 8 hours, the reaction mixture was returned to room temperature and washed with water and saturated brine. The resultant was dried with magnesium sulfate, after which the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)piperidin-2-one (28.8 g) as a colorless oily material.
