Abstract

" Recrystallized yield of 95% cis. Crude yield= 71% from which this and 41: 59 cis/trans mixture (12%) could be isolated.* Methanol was cosolvent. CInitially isolated as an oil bp 95- 6 OC (3 mmHg)(lit. 4s 80-85" C (0.8-1 mmHg)) which was 83% 2-cyclohexylpiperidine and contained ca. 5% 2-phenylpiperidine and other unknown compounds. The hydrochloride was recrystallized from ethanol and washed with ether. GC showed only one compound. ...
