Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.761 g, 5 mmol), 1-(2-chloroethyl)piperidine hydrochloride (0.921 g, 5.00 mmol), K2CO3 (2.07 g, 14.99 mmol), and sodium iodide (0.075 g, 0.50 mmol) in acetonitrile (40 mL) was stirred at 100° C. overnight. The reaction was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and sat'd aqueous K2CO3 was added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered through a bed of Celite, and conc. in vacuo to yield the product which was purified via silica gel chromatography (80 g) using EtOAc/hexanes (4:1) as eluent to yield the title compound as a brown oil (0.551 g, 42%); m/z 264.
