Reaction Steps

2-Phenylethanol (0.61 g., 0.005 mole), 4-benzamidopiperidine (1.02 g., 0.005 mole) and Raney Nickel (W7, ca. 2 g.) were stirred in xylene (50 ml.) and the mixture boiled under reflux for 16 hours. Liberated water was removed by means of a Dean and Stark apparatus. Filtration of the hot mixture provided a yellow solution which was stored at room temperature until crystallisation was complete. The title compound was obtained as cream needles (0.85 g.), m.p. 164°-7° C.
