| Abstract: | Reaction of N-ethylpiperid-4-one with benzaldehyde and KOH in 65% aqueous methanol gives 2,7-diethyl-10a-hydroxy-9-phenyl-4-(phenylmethylene)-2,7-diaza-10-oxa-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8a, 10a-decahydroanthracene. In the presence of HCl/EtOH, 3,5-bis(phenylmethylene)-1-ethylpiperid-4-one is formed. In the presence of HCl/AcOH, 2,7-diethyl-9-phenyl-4,5-bis(phenylmethylene)-2,7-diaza-10-oxa-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene is formed.Center for the Chemistry of Medicinal Agents, All-Russian Chemicopharmaceutical Institute, Moscow 119815.
