Benzylamine → 1-(3-(4-Fluorophenoxy)propyl)-3-methoxypiperidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[3-(4-fluorophenoxy)-propyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinone (140 mg, intermediate 1), benzylamine (61 mg), Pd 10% on charcoal (100 mg) and a 0.02% solution of thiophene in THF was reacted under hydrogen gas for 3 hours at 50° C. The catalyst was filtered off and fresh palladium 10% on charcoal (100 mg) was added. Debenzylation of the formed intermediate took place under hydrogen atmosphere for 18 hours at 50° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and evaporated under a gentle stream of nitrogen to yield 1-[3-(4-fluorophenoxy)-propyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinamine (compound I-1) having a cis/trans ratio of about 93/7.
