1,2-Dibromoethane → N-(2-Bromoethyl)-3-chlorobenzenamine

Temperature

80 °C

A mixture of 3-chloroaniline (50 g, 0.39 mol) and 1,2-dibromoethane (73 g, 0.39 mol) in MeCN (500 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture was concentrated on rotavap and subjected to silica flash column chromatography using 0 to 30% EtOAc in PE to isolate N-(2-bromoethyl)-3-chloroaniline (397) (9.0 g, 10%) as a yellow solid. To a solution of N-(2-bromoethyl)-3-chloroaniline (397) (9.0 g, 38.46 mmol) and (R)-tert-butyl 3-aminopiperidine-1-carboxylate (7.74 g, 38.46 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added DIEA (14.88 g, 115.38 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 2 days. It was partitioned in EtOAc (50 mL) and water (50 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous was extracted with EtOAC (50 mL×3). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried, concentrated and subjected to silica flash column chromatography using 0 to 5% MeOH in DCM to isolated (R)-tert-butyl 3-(2-(3-chlorophenylamino)ethylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate (398) (10.1 g, 74.4%) as a white solid.
