Diphenylchloroacetyl chloride

N-methyl-4-piperidvl benzi/ata and the methiodide An intimate mixture of 0.1 mol of N-methyM-piperidinol hydrochloride and 0.1 mol diphenylchloroacetyl chloride is heated at 160°C to 180°C until the evolution of hydrogen chloride ceases (usually about 4 to 5 hours). The melt is then dissolved in 500 ml of water and the resultant mixture heated on a steam bath for about Vi hour, after which time complete solution is effected. The acid solution is cooled and rendered alkaline with ammonium hydroxide solution whereupon the ester is precipitated.The ester is purified either by removal by filtration and recrystallization from benzene petroleum ether or by extracting the mixture with benzene and precipitating the ester by the addition of petroleum ether. After recrystallization there is obtained about 0.06 mol of N-methyl-4-piperidyl benzilate, melting point 1 62°C to 163°C. 

If desired, this same product can be prepared by adding 8 g of l-ethyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine in about 40 ml of dry methylene dichloride to 18.4 g of diphenylchloroacetyl chloride in about 40 ml of boiling methylene dichloride and refluxing the mixture for 1 hour. The solvent is evaporated and the residue heated on a steam bath with 200 ml of water for 5 min and then...
