4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 4-Bromo-1-tosylpiperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Bromopiperidine (5.75 g, 23.5 mmol) was dissolved in pyridine (50 mL) and treated with tosyl chloride (5.8 g, 30.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at r.t. and then diluted with dichloromethane (150 mL) and HCl (1 M aqueous solution, 50 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (80 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (40% EtOAc/hexane) to give 4-bromo-1-tosylpiperidine as a white solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.66 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.34 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 4.27-4.24 (m, 1H), 3.20-3.17 (m, 2H), 3.13-3.11 (m, 2H), 2.46 (s, 3H), 2.23-2.17 (m, 2H), 2.08-2.05 (m, 2H); MS (ESI) 318.0 (M+H)+.
