Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-Bis-spiro[ind-2-en-1,4'-piperidin-1'-yl]butane (compound 4a) (3 g) in ethanol (90 ml) were added acetic acid (5 ml) and 5% palladium on carbon (0.9 g). The mixture was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus for 2 hours ar 3 atm. The catalyst was filtered off and the solvent evaporated. The remaining oil was dissolved in diluted aqueous NH4OH (200 ml, pH>9). The title compound 5a was extracted with ethyl acetate and worked-up as above and finally crystallized from ethyl acetate. Yield 1.6 g. Mp 113°-115° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3)δ1.55-1.65 (m,8 H), 1.95-2.10 (m,8 H), 2.15 (t,4 H), 2.45 (broad s,4 H), 2.95 (t,8 H), 7.10-7.30 (m,8 H).
