Potassium Carbonate → 4-(2-Keto-1-benzimidazolinyl)-1-[2-(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)ethyl]piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g (0.023 m) of 4-(2-keto-1-benzimidazolinyl)piperidine, 7.65 g (0.023 m) of 2-(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)ethanol methanesulfonate of Example 1 and 3.17 g (0.023 m) of K2CO3 in 30 ml of absolute ethanol and 60 ml of methanol was refluxed overnight (about 16 hours). The reaction mixture was diluted with 800 ml of ethyl acetate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from methanol to give after drying at 100° C. in vacuo, 5.78 g (56%) of 4-(2-keto-1-benzimidazolinyl)-1-[2-(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)ethyl]piperidine, m.p. 116°-120° C.
