The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemicals and in particular discloses a method for synthesizing N-benzyl-4-piperidinecarboxylate. The process comprises the following steps: by taking isonipecotic acid and
benzyl chloride as raw materials and taking 1,2-
dichloroethane as a
solvent, heating and reacting, adding water to wash after cooling,
drying the
organic layer, filtering and concentrating, thereby obtaining the N-benzyl-4-piperidinecarboxylate. According to the synthetic method, the used
solvent 1,2-
dichloroethane is concentrated and collected and can be recycled, the method is
environmentally friendly, and the cost of the raw materials is greatly reduced.
