Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-[3-[4-[(2-Benzothiazolyl)carbonyl]-1-piperidinyl]propoxy]benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Mix (2-benzothiazolyl)(4-piperidinyl)methanone.CF3CO2H (7.08 g, 19.7 mmol), 4-(3-iodopropoxy)benzoic acid, methyl ester (6.50 g, 20.3 mmol), sodium hydrogen carbonate (3.41 g, 40.6 mmol), tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) and water (20 mL). Heat at reflux under an argon atmosphere overnight. Cool to room temperature, dilute with ethyl acetate (150 mL), wash with 10% sodium hydrogen carbonate (50 mL), water (2×50 mL) and saturated sodium chloride (50 mL). Dry (MgSO4), evaporate the solvent in vacuo and triturate with hexane. Collect the solid by filtration and recrystallize (methanol) to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid; mp 108°-109.5° C.
