Reaction Steps

1-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-4-(4-aminobenzyl)piperidine (1 g, 3.45 mmol) was dissolved in 1-butanol (20 mL). To the solution were added bis(2-chloroethyl) ether (490 mg, 3.45 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1 g, 7.23 mmol), and the mixture was heated for 30 hours under reflux. The reaction mixture was poured into water (50 mL), and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the concentrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to give 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-(4-morpholinobenzyl)piperidine (869 mg) as a colorless oily substance. This compound (859 mg, 2.39 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (10 mL). To the solution was added 4N-hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate (5 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (562 mg) as colorless powders.
