Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3,4-dichloro-1-iodobenzene (9.00 g, 41.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) at room temperature, was added isopropylmagnesium bromide (40.5 mL of a 2.0 M solution in THF, 82.0 mmol) dropwise. After 2 h, a solution of 1-(3-methoxybenzyl)piperidin-4-one (9.0 g, 41.0 mmol) from Step B above in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added dropwise at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 2 h. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride (5 mL). The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed with saturated ammonium chloride (80 mL), water (80 mL), brine (80 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography (dichloromethane to 10% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) gave 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(3-methoxybenzyl)piperidin-4-ol (13.0, 86%) as a colorless oil: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.62 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.43-7.38 (m, 1H), 7.36-7.30 (m, 1H), 7.25-7.21 (m, 1H), 6.96-6.90 (m, 2H), 6.84-6.77 (m, 1H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 3.55 (s, 2H), 2.84-2.76 (m, 2H), 2.47-2.37 (m, 2H), 2.10 (dt, J=4.5, 13.1 Hz, 2H), 1.72-1.65 (m, J=11.5 Hz, 2H); ESI MS (m/z) 366 [M+H]+.
