Hydrogen Bromide → N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-piperidinyl)benzeneacetamide hydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 parts of ethyl 4-[N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(phenylacetyl)amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate in 60 parts of hydrobromic acid solution 48% is warmed until the evolution of carbon dioxide is ceased. Heating is continued for 15 minutes at a temperature between 80°-120° C. The reaction mixture is evaporated. The solid residue is washed successively with methylbenzene and 2-propanone and dried, yielding 4.1 parts of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-piperidinyl)benzeneacetamide hydrobromide; mp. 251.5° C.
