Procedure

To 200 parts of water were added carefully 200 parts of acetic acid while stirring and cooling. Then there were added dropwise (slowly) 368 parts of sulfuric acid. 90 Parts of α-[hydroxy[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]methylidene]benzeneacetonitrile were added and the whole was stirred and refluxed overnight. The acetic acid was evaporated and the residue was poured into crushed ice. The mixture was alkalized with concentrate ammonium hydroxide and the oily product was extracted with trichloromethane. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 79 parts (96.3%) of 2-phenyl-1-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]ethanone as a residue (intermediate 6).
