Dichloromethane → 2-(Piperidin-3-yl)propan-2-ol hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl magnesium bromide (5 mL, 3M in diethyl ether, 15 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of the 1-tert-butyl 3-ethyl piperidine-1,3-dicarboxylate (1.29 g, 5 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 mL) and THF (20 mL) during 10 min. The mixture was stirred for 30 min and thereafter slowly quenched with NH3Cl solution (10 mL, 3M). The phases were separated and the organic phase was evaporated to yield a yellow oil. The oil was dissolved in DCM (2 mL) and TFA (2 mL) was added and the reaction was left at room temperature for 15 min. The solvents were evaporated and the residue dissolved in EtOAc. HCl was bubbled through the solution in a gentle stream for 10 minutes. The solvent was evaporated and the residue dried in vacuum. Dissolution in EtOAc (100 mL) and stirring for 1 h at room temperature yielded the solid product, which was filtered off and dried in vacuum to produce white crystals. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ ppm 1.01 (d, J=15.87 Hz, 6 H) 1.08-1.26 (m, 1 H) 1.46-1.68 (m, 2 H) 1.74 (d, J=10.99 Hz, 2 H) 2.47-2.56 (m, 1 H) 2.55-2.75 (m, 1 H) 3.11 (d, J=12.45 Hz, 1 H) 3.24 (d, J=12.45 Hz, 1 H) 8.81 (s, 1 H) 9.18 (s, 1 H).
