Alternative to HCl salt formation

Alisha Talks  Follow
That could work. 
I have a few ideas but can you tell us more detail about the method/conditions you are using?  You are wanting to form the salt as the reaction proceeds rather than after completed?

So what it is it green! You can always re-cycle the chloroform!
There is no green chemistry.
If the reaction works well use it, to hell with the greenness of the process.

I reduce substituted pyridines to piperidines using PtO2 as the catalyst under 3 bars pressure of Hydrogen gas. I normally do it in ethanol/Chloroform with 10/1 ratio and when the reaction is complete I just filter and evaporate to get the HCl salt of the piperidine. It does work but it's not green because I use Chloroform in a big excess.
