Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-benzyl-4-(4-nitrophenoxy)piperidine (3.00 g, 9.60 mmol) and 1-chloromethanesulfonyl-naphthalene (2.35 g, 9.76 mmol) in THF was chilled in an ice bath, treated dropwise with 1.0 M potassium tert-butoxide in THF (20 mL, 20 mmol), stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour, 20 minutes under nitrogen, poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography using 40-80% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 1-benzyl-4-[3-(naphthalene-1-sulfonylmethyl)-4-nitro-phenoxy]-piperidine as a brown gum/foam, 2.36 g (47.6% yield), Mass spectrum (+EI, [M+H]+) m/z 517. 1HNMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ8.44-8.47 (m, 1H), 8.28 (d, 1H, J=8.17 Hz), 8.06-8.09 (m, 1H), 7.91-7.96 (m, 2H), 7.59-7.68 (m, 3H), 7.20-7.32 (m, 5H), 7.03 (dd, 1H, J=9.15 Hz and 2.80 Hz), 6.62 (d, 1H, J=2.81 Hz), 5.24 (s, 2H), 4.07-4.10 (m, 1H), 3.44 (s, 2H), 2.49-2.53 (m, 2H), 2.05-2.09 (m, 2H), 1.65-1.69 (m, 2H), 1.38-1.46 ppm (m, 2H).
