Chlorosulfonic acid → 4-(1-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)piperidin-4-yl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chlorosulfonic acid (2 mL) was added to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)ethanone (1.0 g, 3.9 mmol) in a single portion, and the reaction was stirred for 20 minutes until gas evolution ceased (exothermic reaction). The solution was poured into a mixture of ice water (200 mL) and EtOAc (20 mL). The organic layer was concentrated and purified via silica gel chromatography using 8/2 hexanes/EtOAc to obtain 4-(1-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)piperidin-4-yl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride as a clear oil (1.3 g, 94%).
