1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → 8-(Phenylmethyl)-3-oxa-1,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decan-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.04 g (4.72 mmol) of 4-amino-1-benzyl-4-hydroxymethylpiperidine (for preparation see: Eur. J. Med. Chim. Ther. (1974) 9, 424-433) are suspended in 16 ml of dichloromethane and 842 mg (5.2 mmol) of carbonyldiimidazole are added. As the reaction progresses, a solution forms, which following complete reaction is diluted with dichloromethane and washed first with water, then with a 5 percent sodium bicarbonate solution and once again with water. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and freed from the solvent on a rotary evaporator. 1.04 g of the title compound are obtained as a crude product, which is reacted further as it is.
