Abstract

An improved process for preparing fenoctimine, which is 4-(diphenylmethyl)-1-[(octylimino)methyl]piperidine by: (1) reacting dimethylformamide with dimethyl sulfate to form a complex; (2) reacting the resultant dimethylformamide/dimethyl sulfate complex with n-octylamine and optionally with dimethylamine; (3) thereafter treating the reaction with aqueous base to form N,N-dimethyl-N'-octyl-formamidine; and (4) reacting said formamidine, without need for further purification, with 4-(diphenylmethyl) piperidine to obtain 4-(diphenylmethyl)-1-[(octylimino)-methyl]piperidine.
