4-(Chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride → HCID 59657777, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-((1-ethylpropyl)piperidin-4-yl)-N-hydroxyacetamidine (0.50 g, 2.2 mmol, prepared as described in Example 12), glacial acetic acid (15 mL) and 4-(chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride (0.46 g, 2.4 mmol) was stirred overnight at ambient temperature and then heated at reflux for 30 minutes. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of 1 N hydrochloric acid (10 mL), water (50 mL) and diethyl ether (20 mL). The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was washed with diethyl ether (2×10 mL). The organic extracts were discarded and the aqueous phase was made alkaline (pH 10) with 4 N sodium hydroxide and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was evaporated. This afforded 0.70 g of 4-[5-(4-(chloromethyl)phenyl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-ylmethyl]-1-(1-ethylpropyl)piperidine as an oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.87 (t, 6H), 1.22-1.49 (m, 4H), 1.40-1.52 (m, 2H), 1.67-1.74 (m, 2H), 1.78-1.88 (m, 1H), 2.13 (pent., 1H), 2.23-2.31 (m, 2H), 2.68-2.75 (m, 4H), 4.63 (s, 2H), 7.55 (d, 2H), 8.14 (d, 2H). HPLC: Rt=14.22 min.
