Acetic Acid → 4-[1-(4-Aminobutyl)piperidin-4-yl]butyramide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 4 (0.30 g, 0.76 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (5 mL). To the solution was added hydrazine monohydrate (0.11 mL, 2.28 mmol) followed by a catalytic amount of acetic acid (0.1 mL). The mixture was heated to reflux for two hours, cooled to room temperature, and concentrated under vacuum. The resulting residue was subjected to column chromatography eluting with 0-20% (20:80 ammonium hydroxide/methanol) in dichloromethane to afford the desired product 5 (0.24 g, 80%) as a colorless, viscous oil: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 1.25 (m, 4H), 1.55 (m, 6H), 1.72 (m, 2H), 2.00 (m, 2H), 2.18 (m, 3H), 2.36 (t, 2H), 2.74 (t, 2H), 2.96 (d, 2H), 3.28 (br, 4H).
