Reaction Steps

To the 500 ml RB-flask was added 4-phenylpiperidine hydrochloride (5 g, 25 mmol), N-(6-bromohexyl)phthalimide (15.5 g, 50 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (21.8 ml, 125 mmol), tetrabutylammonium iodide (0.2 g), and dioxane (250 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 72 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography (98:2=Chloroform:2N ammonia in methanol) to afford 7.67 g of the desired product (77% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.78-7.79 (m, 2H), 7.74-7.65 (m, 2H), 7.32-7.14 (m, 5H), 3.69 (t, 2H, J=7.35 Hz), 3.06 (d, 2H, J=11.0 Hz), 2.49 (quintet, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 2.36 (t, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 2.02 (t, 2H, J=12.5 Hz), 1.82 (br s, 4H), 1.69 (t, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 1.54 (br s, 2H), 1.37 (br s, 4H); ESMS m/e: 391.3 (M+H)+; Anal. Calc. for C25H30N2O2+0.2H2O: C, 76.19; H, 7.77; N, 7.11. Found: C, 76.14; H, 7.38; N, 7.13.
