Potassium Iodide → cis-4-(benzoylamino)-3-methoxy-N,N-dimethyl-alpha,alpha-diphenyl-1-piperidinebutanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.6 parts of N-(dihydro-3,3-diphenyl-2(3H)-furanylidene)-N-methylmethanaminium bromide, 4.7 parts of cis-N-(3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl)benzamide, 3.8 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.1 parts of potassium iodide and 240 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone was stirred and refluxed for 18 hours using a water-separator. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and washed with water. The organic phase was separated, dried, filtered and evaporated. The oily residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 2,2-oxybispropane. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 3.5 parts (35% of cis-4-(benzoylamino)-3-methoxy-N,N-dimethyl-α, α-diphenyl-1-piperidinebutanamide; mp. 146.6° C. (compound 122).
