p-Anisoyl chloride → tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-[4-[2-(4-methoxy-benzoyloxy)-ethoxy]-phenyl]-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 150 mg (0.314 mmol) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate, 3.7 mg (0.031 mmol, 0.1 eq.) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 65.9 mg (0.375 mmol, 1.2 eq.) of 4-methoxy-benzoyl chloride and 51.7 μl of triethylamine in 10 ml of methylene chloride was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. This reaction solution was poured into 50 ml of an ice/water mixture and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were washed once with water and once with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulphate, evaporated under reduced pressure and dried in a high vacuum. The crude product (208 mg) was separated on silica gel using a 95:5 mixture of hexane and acetone as the eluent. There were obtained 104 mg (51% of theory) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-[4-[2-(4-methoxy-benzoyloxy)-ethoxy]-phenyl]-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless oil; MS: 612 (M+H)+.
