N.V., Beerse, Belgia, a company of Belgium No Drawing. Fied Oct. 10, 1961, Ser. No. 144,017 A Caims. (C. 260-293.4) H'OX O The present invention relates to a novel group of com pounds which are derivatives of 4-anilinopiperidines. More particularly it relates to a group of compounds which can be represented by the following general for mula 5 wherein Ar, Alk and R are defined as above. The reac tion can be carried out in an inert solvent such as an H. aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g. benzene, toluene, Xylene), Ar-X-Alk-N X a lower alkanol (e.g. ethanol, propanol, butanol), and a lower alkanone (e.g. acetone, butanone, pentanone, hex 20 anone, and 4-methyl-2-pentanone). In certain cases the reaction can be usefully accelerated by use of elevated temperatures. The ketones thus obtained can be reduced with an appropriate reducing agent such as sodium boro hydride to give the alcohols of the present invention. 25 An alternate method for preparing the alkanols of the In this formula Ar is a member of the group consisting present inventions which can be used when Alk is methyl of pheny and thienyl; X is a member of the group con ene, involves heating styrene oxide with a substituted sisting of -CO-, -CHOH-, and piperidine which corresponds to the formula given above in the preparation of the ketones of this invention. >CHO(lower alkanoyl) 30 To prepare the intermediate piperidines described Alk is selected from the group consisting of methylene, above, 1-benzyl-4-piperidone is condensed with aniline ethylene, and alkyl methylene of less than 7 carbon to give N-(1-benzyl-4-piperidylidene)aniline. This com atoms; R is selected from the group consisting of lower pound is reduced to give 1-benzyl-4-anilinopiperidine alkyl, lower alkoxy, dimethylamino, morpholino, piper which can be reacted with an acid chloride or acid anhy idino, and 1-pyrrollidinyl. The lower alkanoyl radicals dride to give the corresponding amide, with an alkyl chlo referred to above are those derived from alkanoic acids roformate to give the corresponding urethane, or first with of less than 7 carbon atoms. The lower alkyl and lower phosgene and then with an appropriate secondary amine alkoxy radicals referred to above contain less than 7 car to give the corresponding urea. The N-benzyl group is bon atoms and include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, then removed by hydrogenation over palladium on char hexyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, and butoxy.
