Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-iodosalicylaldehyde (2 g, 8.2 mmol) (Aldrich) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added anhydrous K2CO3 (1.15 g, 8.2 mmol), and 4-bromomethyl-piperidine -1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.3 g, 8.2 mmol, Pharmacore). The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 18 h. The crude was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, concentrated to give 4-(2-formyl-4-iodo-phenoxymethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Yield 2.3 g, 63%).
