Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To all ice cooled (0-5° C.) solution of aqueous concentrated HCl (7.0 mL, of 11 N, 77 mmol, 24 equiv.) in 95% ethanol (21 mL) was added dropwise a solution of 1,4-bis{3,4-bis[3-(piperidin-1-yl)propoxy]phenyl}-butane (2.50 g, 3.225 mmol) in 95% ethanol (21 mL)*. The solution was allowed to stir at 0-5° C. for three hours and the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator keeping the temperature of the water bath at 45° C. The hydrochloride salt was dried under high vacuum for 48 hours. The crude product was then crystallized from ethanol:ether to give 2.46 g of the product (83.2% yield) after drying high vacuum for 72 hours. *Note that the starting material 1,4-bis{3,4-bis[3(piperidin-1-yl)propoxy]phenyl}-butane did not dissolve completely in 95% ethanol at room temperature, so the mixture was heated at 45° C. during which 1,4-bis{3,4-bis[3-(piperidin-1-yl)propoxy]phenyl}-butane dissolved. The solution was cooled to room temperature and added, to the ethanolic HCl solution.
