Reaction Conditions

Temperature100 °C

Reaction Steps

Dehydration of the xanthene-9-ol (88.2 g., 0.24 m.) is accomplished by refluxing with 88.1 g. (0.48 m.) of sulfobenzoic anhydride and 1.2 1. of propionic acid for two hours. The reaction mixture is heated in vacuo at 100° C. and the residual syrup is dissolved in water and made strongly basic with 40% sodium hydroxide solution. Extraction with ether gives 1-methyl-4-(2-trifluoromethyl-9-xanthenylidene)-piperidine, m.p. 82°-83° C.
