Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Methyl-4-(2-aminophenoxy)-4-ethynylpiperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1-methyl-4-ethynyl-4-(2-nitrophenoxy)piperidine (liberated from 10.0 g of the hydrochloride), 140 ml of methanol, 40 ml of water, 10 ml of conc hydrochloric acid and 20 g of iron (reduced electroytic) was stirred for 0.5 hr at 45° under nitrogen. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, poured into saturated sodium carbonate solution, extracted twice with ether; dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated to provide an oil. The oil was dissolved in ether. Precipitation with ethereal hydrogen chloride provided 8.59 g (83%) of product. Recrystallization from ethanol provided the analytical sample.
