Reaction Steps

A solution of 25.1 g (0.1 mole) of 4-(m-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)pyridine in 150 ml methanol and 10 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid was shaken with one gram of platinum oxide at an initial pressure of fifty psi of hydrogen. The hydrogen uptake was complete in ten hours. The catalyst was filtered off. After removal of the methanol under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in water and made basic with sodium hydroxide. Extraction with benzene and concentration of the benzene solution gave crude 4-(alpha-hydroxy-m-trifluoromethylbenzyl)piperidine. Yield 20.2 grams.
