Participants

Reaction Steps

By following the manipulative procedure described in Example 1(b), a solution of 16.6 g of 1-benzyl-4-(m-tolyloxy)piperidine in 105 ml. of ethanol produces a clear oil of 4-(m-tolyloxy)piperidine. The oil is dissolved in 150 ml. of ether, and 50 ml. of a saturated ethereal-HCl solution is slowly added. The salt precipitates out of solution, is collected, and dried. The salt is recrystallized from an ethanol and ether mixture to give white needles of the piperidine hydrochloride.
