4-(Piperidin-4-yloxy)benzonitrile → 4-(1-Acetylpiperidin-4-yloxy)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Synthesized from 4-(4-cyanophenoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.5 g) according to an analogous synthetic method to Example 215 described below, the total amount of 4-(piperidin-4-yloxy)benzonitrile crude product was dissolved in acetic anhydride (20 ml) and pyridine (20 ml), and the solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, extracted with ethyl acetate, then sequentially washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by NH silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate system) to provide the title compound (1.1 g).
