Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of piperidin-2-one (0.5 g, 5.0 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry THF (10.0 mL) was added nBuLi (4.2 ml, 10.5 mmol, 2.1 equiv) dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was then cooled to −75° C. and excess 3-bromoprop-1-ene was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was kept at −78° C. for 1 h, quenched with NH4Cl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product, which was directly used for the next step without further purification.
