Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of o-fluorobenzaldehyde (1.24 gm, 10 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.76 gm, 20 mmol), and piperidine (1.7 gm, 20 mmol) was refluxed in dry DMF for 6 hrs. After the completion of reaction DMF was distilled out at vaccum and 5 ml of water was added to the residue and extracted the product with ethyl acetate (10 ml×2). Organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated the solvent to afford 1.8 gm of product (8) (90.5%) 1HNMR CDCl3 (Spectrum 9): 1.68(m, 6H), 3.05(m, 4H), 7.05(m, 2H), 7.45(dd, 1H), 7.75(dd, 1H).
