Potassium Carbonate → Decane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4,5]decane (51.2 ml), 4-chloropyridine hydrochloride (20 g) and potassium carbonate (18.4 g) in isoamyl alcohol (400 ml) was gently refluxed for 18 hr. The reation mixture was cooled and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to give a waxy solid which was triturated with hexane to give 8-(4-pyridyl)-1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro]4,5]decane (24.16 g) as a colourless solid; NMR (d6DMSO) δ 1.65-1.70(4H,m), 3.45-3.55(4H,m), 3.9(4H,s), 6.90(2H,m), 8.15(2H,m); m/Z 221 (M+H)+.
