4-Fluorophenol → p-Fluorophenyl 1-amidino-4-piperidinepropionate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.00 g of 1-amidino-4-piperidinepropionic acid hydrochloride and 0.95 g of p-fluorophenol was suspended in 20 ml of dry pyridine. To the suspension was added with stirring and ice-cooling 1.74 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and the resulting mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 4 days. After removal of any insoluble materials, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate was added to the residue to give crystals which were then recrystallized from methanol-ether to obtain 1.4 g (yield: 50.0%) of p-fluorophenyl 1-amidino-4-piperidinepropionate hydrochloride as colorless crystals having a melting point of 131° to 133° C.
