Piperidin-4-ol → 1-(Cyclopropylmethyl)piperidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add bromomethylcyclopropane (2.025 g, 15 mmol) to a solution of 4-hydroxypiperidine (3.035 g, 30 mmol) in THF (10 mL) and stir the mixture overnight. Dilute the mixture with ethylacetate, wash with saturated NaHCO3 solution, dry over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate to give a residue. Chromatography (silica gel, eluting with 8% 2M NH3-methanol in CH2Cl2) provides 1.087 g (47%) of the title compound: mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=156.2 (M+1); 1H NMR (CDCl3, ppm): 3.60 (m, 1H), 2.81 (m, 2H), 2.16 (d, 1H), 2.10 (m, 3H), 1.84 (m, 2H), 1.53 (m, 3H), 0.79 (m, 1H), 0.44 (m, 2H), 0.00 (m, 2H).
