Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.8 g of 4-amino-1-benzylpiperidine (20 mmol) was combined with 4.7 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (23 mmol) in 80 ml of DMF and stirred for 12 hours at 80° C. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was flash chromatographed using ethyl acetate/methanol (1:1) whereby 54. g of 1-benzyl-4(N′, N″-dicyclohexyl-guanidino)-piperidine was obtained (71%). 5 g of the product (12.6 mmol) was dissolved in 60 ml of methanol and hydrogenated using 0.6 g of Pd(C) at 2 bar hydrogen pressure. Thus obtained was 4 g of 4(N′, N″-dicyclohexyl-guanidino)-piperidine (63%)
