Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[4-(4-bromo-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (11.6 g, 31.9 mmol) (Palani A.; et al., J. Med. Chem., 2001, 44, 3339-3342) in MeOH (60 mL) and H2O (15 mL) at room temperature was added K2CO3 (10.0 g, 72.5 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours to give (4-bromophenyl)-piperidin-4-yl-methanone as a pale yellow solid (7.81 g, 96%) following work-up and purification.
