After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours the mixture was diluted with water, extracted with chloroform and the combined extracts washed and dried. After removal of the solvent, the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel, using chloroform/methanol (38:1) as eluant, to give the title compound (1.53 g) 4-(N-phenylamino)--1-phenylmethyl-4-piperidinylmethanol is then converted to sufentanil following the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,179,469 and as illustrated by FIG. 2.
