Diphenylpiperidin-4-ylmethanol hydrochloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

white to off-white crystalline powder

Originator

Frenquel,Merrell,US,1955

Manufacturing Process

A mixture of 26 g (0.1 mol) of α-(4-pyridyl)-benzhydrol, 1.5 g of platinum oxide, and 250 ml of glacial acetic acid is shaken at 50-60°C under hydrogen at a pressure of 40-50 lb/in2. The hydrogenation is complete in 2 to 3 hours. The solution is filtered and the filtrate evaprated under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in a mixture of equal parts of methanol and butanone and 0.1 mol of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added. The mixture is cooled and filtered to give about 30 g of α-(4-piperidyl)benzhydrol hydrochloride, MP 283- 285°C, as a white, crystalline substance.
The free base is readily obtained from the hydrochloride salt by treatment with ammonia and when so obtained has a melting point of 160-161°C.
