Sodium Chloride → HCID 23144254, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

60% sodium hydride (600 mg, 15.0 mmol) was suspended in DMF (30 mL), 2-piperidone (1.49 g, 15.0 mmol) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. A solution of methyl 4-bromomethylbenzoate (2.29 g, 10.0 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:methanol=9:1) to afford methyl 4-[(2-oxopiperidino)methyl]benzoate (2.47 g 100%).
