Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (1.6 M, 38.2 mL, 61.1 mmol) was added to a solution of diisopropylamine (8.6 mL, 61.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (140 mL) at −78° C. under argon. After 1 h, a solution of 2-chloroquinoline (10.00 g, 61.1 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was added via syringe. After 1 h, a solution of 1-benzyl-4-piperidinone (11.3 mL, 61.1 mmol) was added, and the reaction stirred for an additional 40 min at −78° C., then allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction was cooled to −20° C. and quenched with water. The reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase washed with saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Chromatographic purification (silica gel, 0 to 10% {5% ammonium hydroxide/methanol} in methylene chloride gradient elution) gave the title compound, 11.3 g. MS 353 (M+1). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.33 (s, 1H), 8.00 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.82 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.72 (dt, J=1, 10 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (dt, J=1, 8 Hz, 1H), 7.39-7.26 (m, 5H), 3.61 (s, 2H), 2.85 (d, J=11 Hz, 2H), 2.59 (t, J=12 Hz, 2H), 2.48 (dt, J=4, 13 Hz, 2H), 2.13 (d, J=12 Hz, 2H).
