Potassium Carbonate → 3-(R,S)-(1-carbamoyl-1,1-diphenylmethyl)-1-(4chlorophenethyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 3-(R,S)-(1-carbamoyl-1,1-diphenylmethyl)piperidine (0.3 g), 4-chlorophenethyl bromide (0.24 g), anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.3 g) and acetonitrile (15 ml) was heated under reflux for 7 hours. The mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane (30 ml) and 10% aqueous sodium carbonate (30 ml), the layers separated, and the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane (2×50 ml). The combined dichloromethane extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give a solid which was recrystallised from aqueous methanol to give the title compound, yield 0.24 g, m.p. 188°-190° C.
