Reaction Steps

To a solution of allyl 4-[2-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]piperidine-1-carboxylate (692 mg) in anhydrous THF (20 ml) was added dimedone (2.06 g) followed by Pd(PPh3)4 (201 mg) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. A further portion of dimedone (1.03 g) and Pd(PPh3)4 (100 Mg) was added and the mixture was stirred for a further 18 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between 1N sodium hydroxide (50 ml) and ethyl acetate (100 ml). The organics were separated, dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography on SCX-2 stationary phase using a gradient of DCM up to 50% 7N NH3 in MeOH in dichloromethane as eluent to give 4-[2-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]piperidine as a solid. Yield 162 mg). NMR (CDCl3): 1.8 (m, 2H), 2.2 (m, 2H), 2.4 (bs, 1H), 2.8-3.0 (m, 3H), 3.3 (m, 2H), 4.4 (s, 2H), 7.4 (m, 5H).
