Methyl iodide → HCID 178482467, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]piperidine-4-carbaldehyde (372 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) were added potassium tert-butoxide (123 mg) and methyl iodide (0.069 mL) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr under a nitrogen atmosphere. To the reaction mixture were added saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution/ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was separated, washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give an oil. The obtained oil and 4-(methylamino)-1,3-thiazol-2(5H)-one (143 mg) were suspended in ethanol (5 mL), and potassium tert-butoxide (123 mg) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hr. To the reaction mixture were added saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution/ethyl acetate at room temperature, and the organic layer was separated, washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) and recrystallized from ethyl acetate/heptane to give the title compound (83 mg).
