tert-Butyl 4-ethynylpiperidine-1-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 4-[(6-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)ethynyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-iodo-6-methoxybenzofuran-3(2H)-one (0.348 g, 1.20 mmol) synthesized in Example B46, Step 2 in triethylamine (10 mL) was added with tert-butyl 4-ethynylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 47, p. 3111, 2004, 0.276 g, 1.32 mmol), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.0842 g, 0.120 mmol) and copper(I) iodide (0.0229 g, 0.120 mmol), and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain tert-butyl 4-[(6-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)ethynyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.245 g, 55%).
