Procedure: 229.30 g of aluminum chloride (mol. Wt. 133.34; 1,719.7 mmol), 110.0 g (4-Methylanisole (mol. Wt. 122.17; 900.4 mmol), and about 500 g of 2-fluorotoluene (mol. Wt. 110.13; 4,540.1 mmol) were charged to a 2 liter Parr®-brand 4522 stainless steel reaction vessel. To this mixture was added 5 drops of concentrated HCl. The vessel was sealed, heated to 30° C., and purged three times with carbon monoxide with the pressure of the vessel increased to 100 psi for each purging. After the third purge, the vessel was vented and a final introduction of CO was made at a pressure of about 550 psi, the pressure at which the reaction was maintained for the total reaction time of about 66 hours (the reaction temperature was maintained at 30° C. for the duration as well). Once the reaction was complete, the resultant mixture (exhibiting a greenish-brown color) was poured into about 500 mL of ice water (which turned the solution a yellow color), to which was added 500 mL of cyclohexane. The top, organic layer was removed and washed three times with water using a separatory funnel and dried over magnesium sulfate. The residual organic phase was then distilled under vacuum to remove excess cyclohexane, 2-fluorotoluene, and left about 98.01 g of 4-fluoro-3-methylbenzaldehyde product (mol. Wt. 138.14; 709.5 mmol; yield of approximately 86.7%). The 4-fluoro-3-methylbenzaldehyde product may then be easily separated from any residual 4-methylanisole by conversion into its corresponding bisulfite adduct, filtration, and decomposition of the bisulfite adduct under acidic or basic conditions. The vessel was sealed purged three times with carbon monoxide with the pressure of the vessel increased to 100 psi for each purging After the third purge the pressure at which the reaction was maintained for the total reaction time of about 66 hours (the reaction temperature was maintained at 30° C. for the duration as well) was poured into about 500 mL of ice water (which was added 500 mL of cyclohexane The top, organic layer was removed washed three times with water using a separatory funnel dried over magnesium sulfate The residual organic phase was then distilled under vacuum to remove excess cyclohexane, 2-fluorotoluene

Procedure: To a 500 ml. flask were added 200 grams of pyridine hydrochloride. The flask was fitted with a magnetic stirrer, a reflux condenser, and a nitrogen bubbler. The pyridine salt was heated to about 180° C. to remove any moisture. The salt then was allowed to cool somewhat, and 34 grams (0.243 mole) of the fluorotoluene compound were added. The mixture was heated to 220° C. and maintained there for about 3 hours. The mixture then was cooled, and a large volume of water was added. The reaction mixture then was extracted with several portions of methylene chloride. The methylene chloride extracts were combined, and the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a pale yellow product which by nmr analysis indicated the presence of about 5 percent of starting material. The product then was taken up in an excess of 1M sodium hydroxide. The solution was extracted with methylene chloride, and the aqueous layer then was acidified with hydrochloric acid. The acidified portion was extracted with methylene chloride. Evaporation of the methylene chloride extract and distillation of the residue gave 26.6 grams of 2-fluoro-5-methylphenol, b.p.30 86°-93° C. The flask was fitted with a magnetic stirrer, a reflux condenser to remove any moisture to cool somewhat maintained there for about 3 hours The mixture then was cooled The reaction mixture then was extracted with several portions of methylene chloride the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a pale yellow product which by nmr analysis The solution was extracted with methylene chloride The acidified portion was extracted with methylene chloride Evaporation of the methylene chloride extract distillation of the residue

Procedure: By following the manipulative procedure described in Example 1(a), 21.0 g of 1-benzyl-4-piperidinol and 24.0 g of o-fluorotoluene produces a yellow oil fraction which boils at 161°-163° C., 0.09 mm. This oil solidifies slowly upon standing and is recrystallized from petroleum ether (b.p. 30°-60°) to give white crystals of 1-benzyl-4-(o-tolyloxy) piperidine. produces a yellow oil fraction which boils at 161°-163° C., 0.09 mm is recrystallized from petroleum ether (b.p. 30°-60°)
