Triethylamine → 1-(3-Fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl)piperidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of piperidin-4-one (1 g, 10 mmol) and 3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinic acid (2.32 g, 11.1 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) were added benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (5.62 g, 12.7 mmol) and triethylamine (4.43 mL, 31.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and diluted with EtOAc. The solution was washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification on silica gel with 50-100% EtOAc/hexanes gave 2.1 g (70% yield) of the title compound. LC/MS found: 291.2 (M+1)+.
