Chloroacetyl chloride → 1-(2-Chloroacetyl)4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidine (4.4 g, 20 mmol), triethylamine (2.1 g, 21 mmol) in chloroform (50 ml) was added to a solution of chloroacetyl chloride (2.5 g, 22 mmol) in chloroform (100 ml) dropwise at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The solution was diluted with dichloromethane (DCM, 100 ml).and then washed with H2O and brine. The solvent was removed and the oily product was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 50 g; eluted with DCM and 1% CH3OH in DCM). The pure product was obtained as an oil, 4.2 g. Crystallization from ethanol yielded 2.2 g of white crystals, m.p. 101°-102° C.
