Reaction Steps

The resulting 1-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl)-4-(2-naphthalenyloxy)piperidine is dissolved in a mixture of 250 ml of acetic acid, 250 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 125 ml of water. 28.5 g (0.436 mole) of zinc dust is added in portions with stirring and the exothermic reaction allowed to proceed for 21/2 hours. The mixture is filtered and the solvents are removed in vacuo. The residue is partitioned between ether and aqueous sodium hydroxide and the organic phase washed with water and extracted with dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid. The acid extracts are washed with ether, made basic with sodium hydroxide and extracted into ether and toluene and the organic solution washed, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield 4-(2-naphthalenyloxy)piperidine, which is redissolved in ethanol/ether and treated with dry HCl, and the hydrochloride salt recrystallized from butanone/methanol. M.P. 229.5°-231.5° C.
