Triethylamine → 1-Cyclopropanecarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 g of 4-hydroxypiperidine was dissolved in 400 ml of dichloromethane, to which 24 g of triethylamine was added. At -60° C., 100 ml of a dichloromethane solution containing 20.7 g of cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride was further added. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was extracted with chloroform under salting-out conditions and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by the use of silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: dichloroethane), thereby obtaining 32 g of the intended compound (yield 96%).
