Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-methyl-piperidin-4-one (1.50 g, 13.3 mmol) in diethyl ether (10 mL) was degassed under a nitrogen stream. The solution was cooled to 0° C. in an salt ice bath. To the stirring solution was added 4-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide (1.74 g, 14.6 mmol) dropwise over 5 min. A solid formed partway through the addition, and additional diethyl ether was added (2 mL). The reaction was then stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. To the suspension was added aqueous ammonium chloride (15 mL). The biphasic solution was diluted with ethyl acetate (40 mL) and additional saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (20 mL). The layer was separated, and the organic extract washed with brine (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent removed under vacuum to give I-293 (965 mg, 32% yield) as a brown powder. The product was taken on without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): 7.51-7.48 (m, 2H), 7.13-7.09 (m, 2H), 4.80 (s, 1H), 2.52-2.53 (m, 3H), 2.36-2.30 (m, 2H), 2.19 (s, 3H), 1.94-1.87 (m, 2H), 1.57-1.54 (m, 2H) ppm.
