Hydrochloride methanol → (E)-4-[2-(2-fluorophenyl)vinyl]piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

904 mg of 1-(vinyloxycarbonyl)-4-[(E)-2-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-ethenyl]piperidine was suspended in 5 ml of a 10% hydrogen chloride-methanol solution. After stirring for 15 minutes at room temperature, the mixture was heated at 70° C. for one hour. The solvent was evaporated, and water and ethyl acetate were added to the residue, to separate the aqueous layer. The aqueous layer was basified with a diluted ammonia, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, to give 660 mg of the title compound as a colorless oil.
