Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 22503442, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl triphenylphosphonium bromide (25 g) was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml), followed by the addition of 60% sodium hydride (2.68 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction solution was ice-cooled again, followed by the addition of 1-benzyl-4-piperidone (11.55 g), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The resulting organic layer was washed with water, dried (over MgSO4) and evaporated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane system), to give the title compound as a colorless oil (6.08 g, yield; 52%).
