1,3-Difluoroacetone → HCID 67170709, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of piperidin-4-ylmethanol (0.250 g), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.690 g) and 1,3-difluoropropan-2-one (0.245 g) were stirred together in dichloromethane. After stirring overnight the reaction was poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (10 mL) and stirred for 15 minutes. The reaction was extracted with dichloromethane (3×25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography (GraceResolv 12 g) eluting with a gradient of 0.75% to 3% methanol/dichloromethane gave the title compound.
