Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Benzyl-4-(3-bromo-2-ethylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-benzyl-4-(3-bromo-2-ethyl-phenyl)-piperidin-4-ol (D116) (30 g, 80.15 mmol) in HOAc (300 mL) was added hydrochloric acid (45 mL, 37%). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 12 hr and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 1-benzyl-4-(3-bromo-2-ethyl-phenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine (D117) (24 g). MS (ES): C20H22BrN requires 355. found 356 (M+H+).
