Acetic Anhydride → HCID 19004213, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (68 mg, 0.67 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 1-(4-aminophenethyl)-4-(diphenylmethoxymethyl)piperidine (180 mg, 0.45 mmol) (see Example 21) and triethylamine (55 mg, 0.54 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 ml) and the mixture heated under reflux for 2 hours and evaporated. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 10% aqueous potassium carbonate and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted into ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate and the resulting solid collected, washed with ethyl acetate and dried to give the title compound (35 mg) as an off-white solid which was characterised containing 0.25 equivalents of water.
