Piperidine → 1-(But-3-yn-1-yl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of piperidine (2.9 g, 33.8 mmol), 4-bromobut-1-yne (5 g, 37.6 mmol) and K2CO3 (3 g, 2.2 mmol) in CH3CN was stirred at 80° C. for 2 h. After it was cooled to room temperature, the solution was diluted with H2O and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL). Then the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 2 g of the crude product, which was directly used for the next step without further purification. MS (ESI): 138 (MH+).
