Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-benzyl-4-(2-cyano-2,2-diphenylethyl)piperidine (7.57 g, 19.9 mmol) (Example 23) in 90% sulphuric acid (45 ml) was heated at 100° C. for one hour, allowed to cool to room temperature, poured into ice, basified with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution and extracted into dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica using dichloromethane plus 0-10% methanol as eluant. Appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated to give the title compound (1.06 g, 13%) as a colourless foam which was characterised as a hemihydrate.
