The quantum‐chemical PCILO method has been used to perform a conformational analysis of the 1‐[2‐(2‐methoxyphenylcarbamoyloxy)ethyl]piperidine (B) and its cation (BH⊕) which belong to a group of phenylcarbamates with considerable local anesthetic activity. For B the most stable conformation has a gauche arrangement of the O‐C‐C‐N fragment. For BH ⊕ the most stable conformer is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond of the N⊕‐H…O=C type. Using the PCILO and “double zeta” ab initio methods the protonation energies were calculated. The gross atomic charges resulting from the “double zeta” ab initio calculations for B and BH ⊕ were compared with the results of the PCILO charge distribution analysis.
