The present work describes an efficient and commercially viable process for the synthesis of dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride (1), a mild nervous system stimulant. The overall yield is 23% with ~99.9% purity (including seven chemical steps). Formation and control of possible impurities are also described in this report.

A process for the preparation of -aryl--piperid-2-yl-acetamides of formula (I) in which Ar is as defined in the disclosure, by catalytic reduction of α-aryl-α-pyridin-2-yl-acetamides (II) with rhodium catalysts. Acetamides of formula (II) can subsequently by hydrolysed to the corresponding arylacetic acids, e. g. ritalinic acid, a direct precursor of methylphenidate.
