Triethylamine → tert-Butyl 4-(4-chlorobenzylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-1-N-Boc piperidine (1.80 g, 8.9 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and 4-chlorobenzylbromide (1.84g, 8.9 mmol) and triethylamine (1.25 mL, 8.9 mmol) were added. The solution was allowed to stir for 14 h at room temperature and evaporated in vacuo and partitioned between ether/1N NaOH. The aqueous layer was removed and the ether was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo, then purified by Biotage flash chromatography (5% methanol/95% methylene chloride) to yield the title compound (0.800 g, 27%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.26 (m, 1H), 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.83 (d, 2H), 2.63 (t, 1H), 2.78 (t, 2H), 3.46 (s, 2H), 3.78 (s, 2H), 4.00 (bs, 2H), 7.26 (bs, 4H). ESI-MS m/z: 325.1 (M+1), retention time 1.86.
