2-Fluoro-4-methylsulfonylphenol → 4-[3-(2-Fluoro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenoxymethyl)-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3-methanesulfonyloxymethyl-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Intermediate 1, 0.222 g, 0.641 mmol), 2-Fluoro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenol (0.122 g, 0.641 mmol) and CsCO3 (0.250 g, 0.769 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was heated under reflux for 4 hours. After cooling, the solution was filtered through a pad of celite and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with Hexanes and EtOAc to afford the desired product. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.15 (1H, s), 7.62 (2H, m), 7.37 (1H, m), 5.25 (2H, s), 4.25 (3H, m), 3.05 (3H, s), 2.85 (2H, m), 2.18 (2H, m), 1.97 (2H, m), 1.43 (9H, s).
