Iodoethane → HCID 67820205, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere in a round-bottom flask were placed 50 ml (0.12 mmol) of cis-5-(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-oxo-6-phenylpiperidine and 0.2 mL of THF. To the system were added 13.5 mg (0.12 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide and 20 μL (0.24 mmol) of ethyl iodide. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours (during this period, additional potassium tert-butoxide (13.5 mg) and ethyl iodide (20 μL) were added to the system). The mixture was partitioned between methylene chloride and aqueous sodium bicarbonate, the layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with three portions of methylene chloride. The combined organic fractions were dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated with a rotary evaporator. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography using 3:97 methanol/chloroform as the eluant to obtain 42 mg of cis-N-ethyl-5-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-oxo-6-phenylpiperidine.
