4-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)benzonitrile;hydrochloride

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a mixture of 0.3g (1.5 mmol) of N-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzoxazol-6-yl)-oxalamic acid, 0.165 ml (1.5 mmol) of N-methyl-morpholine in 8 ml of dimethylformamid 0.2 ml (1.5 mmol) of isobutyl-chloroformate is added dropwise at 0° C. and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. Then 0.333 g (1.4 mmol) of 4-piperidin-4-ylmethyl-benzonitrile hydrochloride and 0.165 ml (1.5 mmol) of N-methyl-morpholine are added and the reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour, at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is purified by column chromatography using Kieselgel 60 (Merck) as adsorbent and toluene:methanol=4:1 as eluent to yield 0.045 g (8.0%) of the title compound. Rf.: 0.4. Melting Point: 259-260° C. (isopropanol). is added dropwise at 0° C. the reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour, at room temperature for 16 hours The reaction mixture is concentrated the residue is purified by column chromatography
