Abstract

See full text

Improvements are shown in the successive preparations of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)benzylamine starting with benzyl chloride, its conversion to the corresponding N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)benzylamine in substantially quantitative yield in toluene solution and using the latter by reaction with phenylacetonitrile in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and a tetra-n-butylammonium salt, preferably the hydrogen sulfate, to produce improved over-all yields of up to over 75% (based on benzyl chloride) of 1-benzyl-4-cyano-4-phenylpiperidine hydrochloride, an intermediate for preparing meperidine.
