Ammonia → 1-Benzyl-4-piperidylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 83 parts of 3-methoxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinone, oxime and 400 parts of methanol saturated with ammonia was hydrogenated at normal pressure and at 50° C. with 6 parts of Raney-nickel catalyst. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated, yielding 78 parts (100%) of (cis+trans)-3-methoxy-1-(phenylmethyl-4-piperidinamine as a residue (intermediate 71).
