Triethylamine → N-BOC-4-(phenylethynyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Iodobenzene (135 μl, 1.2 mmols), 4-ethynyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (209 mg, 1 mmols) and triethylamine (167 μl, 1.2 mmols) were dissolved in acetonitrile (6 ml). Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (35 mg, 0.05 mmols) and Cul (10 mg, 0.05 mmols) were added, and reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and continued to stir at 50 C. for two more hours before partitioning between ethyl acetate and water. Organic layer was isolated, washed with 1 N HCl, brine and dried (MgSO4). Solvents were removed and residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using solutions of ethyl acetate in hexanes (1:4; 1:2) to yield the title compound (74 mg).
