Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 11738001, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Starting with 0.74 g of magnesium, 6.42 g of 4-bromobenzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran, a Grignard reagent was prepared in a conventional manner. Then it was ice-cooled and 10 ml of a solution of 5.67 ml of 1-benzyl-4-piperidone in tetrahydrofuran was dropped thereinto in such a manner that the bulk temperature did not exceed 20° C. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, 50 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added thereto and then 1 N-hydrochloric acid was added until the pH value reached about 2. After stirring for 1 hour, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the tetrahydrofuran was distilled off. To the residue were added anhydrous potassium carbonate and ethyl acetate and the resulting mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluted with n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to thereby give 4.27 g of the title compound as a slightly yellow solid.
