Procedure

A stirred mixture of 5.0 grams (0.032 mole) of ethyl piperidin-4-ylcarboxylate, 5.4 grams (0.032 mole) of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-4-methoxybenzene and 4.4 grams (0.032 mole) of potassium carbonate in 50 mL of dried N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at 70° C. for about 16 hours. After this time the reaction mixture was cooled and partitioned between diethyl ether and water. The organic layer was separated and washed with water and then with an aqueous solution saturated with sodium chloride. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue, which was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel, with diethyl ether/hexane mixtures as eluants. The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, yielding 2.4 grams of ethyl N-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]piperidin-4-ylcarboxylate. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
