4-Benzylpiperidine → HCID 21709143, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 50 mg of 2-phenyl-4-chloromethylpyrimidine in 5 mL chloroform was added 80 mg 4-benzylpiperidine and 1 mL of N,N-diisopropylethylamine. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 4 hr, cooled to room temperature, washed with 5 mL 1N sodium hydroxide solution and the solvent removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to yield 2-phenyl-4-[(4-benzyl-piperidin-1-yl)methyl]-pyrimidine. This material was purified by chromatography on silica gel using 5% methanol in dichloromethane as eluent. Evaporation of the solvent yielded a solid which was treated with ethereal-HCl to give 15 mg of 2-phenyl-4-[(4-benzyl-piperidin-1-yl)methyl]-pyrimidine dihydrochloride (Compound 11), mp 211-213° C.
