Popis: The formic acid reduction of 1, 1'-benzylidenedipiperidine (1) was kinetically investigated by the carbon dioxide trapping method. Rate data gave the rate equation, v=kobs [1] [HCOOH]. The initial mono- and diprotonation of 1 occur in equilibrium, and monoprotonated form is proposed to be an intermediate for the reduction to 1-benzylpiperidine. The isotope effect value (2.69) and the negative ρ substituent effect (similar to that of the formic acid reduction of N-benzylideneaniline) suggest that the reduction of 1 involves the same intermediate step of decarboxylation of the formic acid ester of the α-amino alcohol.
