Procedure

A suspension of 4,4-diphenylpiperidine (4.00 g, 16.9 mmol, 1.00 equiv), chloroacetonitrile (1.40 mL, 21.9 mmol, 1.30 equiv, Aldrich), potassium carbonate (4.67 g, 33.8 mmol, 2.00 equiv), and potassium iodide (561 mg, 3.38 mmol, 0.20 equiv) in n-butanol (20 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) was stirred at reflux under argon for 48 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, EtoAc) to afford 4.01 g (86%) of white solid, which was characterized spectroscopically.
