4-Fluorophenol → N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl4-(p-fluorophenoxymethyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Over the course of 30 minutes, 10.5 ml of diethyl azodicarboxylate are poured onto a mixture of 13.5 g of N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxymethylpiperidine, 7.45 g of p-fluorophenol, 17.4 g of triphenylphosphine and 140 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After stirring for 12 hours at ambient temperature, the reaction mixture is concentrated, taken up in ether, washed with water and then 1N sodium hydroxide solution, and then washed with water. After drying, filtration and evaporation under reduced pressure, chromatography over silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate: 90/10) allows the expected product to be isolated.
