2,6-Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylpiperidin-4-one
In the molecule of the title compound, C20H23NO3, the bulky methoxyphenyl substituents at the equatorial 2,6-positions crowd the vicinity of the equatorial amino H atom and prevent it from forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The piperidine ring adopts a distorted chair conformation.
Ammonium acetate (1 mmol), m-methoxybenzaldehyde (2 mmol) and
ethylmethyl ketone (1 mmol) was heated until the colour of the solution turned
yellow. After the completion of the reaction (as monitored by TLC), the
product was dissolved in ether (10 ml). The solution was treated with aqueous
hydrochloric acid [20 ml, 1:1 (v/v)]. The hydrochloride salt of
the piperidin-4-one was collected and washed with ether. The base was liberated
from an alcohol solution of the hydrochloride by the addition of a slight
excess of aqueous ammonia at 273 K. The product was collected and
recrystallized from ethanol.
C-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C-H = 0.93–0.98 Å)
and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with
Uiso(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).
