1-n-Butyl-4-(4-nitrophthalimido) piperidine monohydrochloride → Hydrochloric Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.2 grams of 1-n-butyl-4-(4-nitrophthalimido) piperidine monohydrochloride in 50 milliliters of glacial acetic acid were added 0.3 grams of 5% palladium on carbon catalyst and the mixture hydrogenated at 40°-60° C. at 50 p.s.i. until the theoretical amount of hydrogen was taken up. The solution was cooled, filtered over kieselguhr and evaporated to a small volume, then triturated with ether to give the title compound as the monohydrochloride. Melting Point: 265°-270° C.
