Procedure

A suspension of 1-(phenylmethyl)piperidine-4-thiol (70 g, prepared in Example 1), chloroacetone (26.9 ml), sodium carbonate (71.6 g) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (31.2 g) in toluene (350 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The insoluble material is filtered off and washed with toluene. After concentration, the filtrate is taken up in dichloromethane and washed with dilute sodium hydroxide and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. After drying over sodium sulfate, the solution is concentrated to give 4-[(2-oxopropyl)thio]-1-(phenylmethyl)piperidine (82.2 g) in the form of an oil, which is sufficiently pure to be used in the next step.
