Benzoyl chloride → 4-Piperidineethanol, 1-benzoyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzoyl chloride (13.3 mL, 0.115 mole) was added dropwise over 0.5 hour to a 0° C. solution of 4-piperidineethanol (14.8 g, 0.115 mole) and dry triethylamine (18 mL, 0.13 mole) in dichloromethane with mechanical stirring. After 16 hours at room temperature, the mixture was quenched with 1.0 M aqueous NaOH (150 mL), then extracted with ethyl acetate (1 L). The organic phase was extracted further with H2O (125 mL), then brine (125 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with chloroform to 6% methanol in chloroform, followed by concentration in vacuo and drying at 100° C. under high vacuum for 1.5 hour to yield a viscous oil (25.1 g, 94%). IR (neat): 3409 cm-1 (s,br), 1613(s). HRMS: Calculated for C14H19NO2 : 233.1416; found: 233.1410.
