Participants

Reaction Steps

10 g of 4-piperidinemethanol, 13 g of 3-(chloromethyl)-2-methoxypyridine and 24 g of potassium carbonate were suspended in 80 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, and then the layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate.
