Acetic Acid → HCID 59507768, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10% acetic acid in methanol was added 4-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)piperidine (148 mg, 0.59 mmol, 1 eq), anhydrous acetone (5 eq), and sodium cyanoborohydride (1.5 eq). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Additional anhydrous acetone (5 eq) and sodium cyanoborohydride (1.5 eq) were added and the reaction was stirred for 24 h. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was brought to pH 10 with aqueous sodium carbonate and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated to afford 1-isopropyl-4-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)piperidine as a yellow oil (163 mg, 97%). LC/MS (m/z): 295.2 (MH+), Rt 1.96 minutes.
