Potassium Carbonate → 1-(3-Methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)piperidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-fluoro-2-(methyloxy)-1-nitrobenzene (7.52 g, 44 mmol), 4-hydroxypiperidine (4.45 g, 44 mmol) and potassium carbonate in 100 mL DMSO was stirred for 72 h. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted twice with Ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give 1-[3-(methyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-4-piperidinol (10.9 g, 99% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 7.84 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 6.54 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 6.46 (s, 1H), 4.73 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 1H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.80-3.69 (m, 3H), 3.18-3.12 (m, 2H), 1.79-1.76 (m, 2H), 1.42-1.34 (m, 2H).
