1-ethyl-4-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)piperidine

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

Procedure: 1,1-Dimethylethyl 4-[(1-ethyl-4-piperidinyl)methyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylate (may be prepared as described in Description 7) (2.5 g) was stirred in a solution of HCl-Dioxane (70 ml, 4M) for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated and the resultant hydrochloride salt was dissolved in saturated potassium carbonate (25 ml). The solution was extracted into DCM (3×50 ml) and the combined organics dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give the title compound (D8) (1.48 g). The solvent was evaporated the resultant hydrochloride salt was dissolved in saturated potassium carbonate (25 ml) The solution was extracted into DCM (3×50 ml) the combined organics dried (MgSO4) evaporated
