3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenol → HCID 70873561, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(3-Hydroxypropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (15.0 g, 61.6 mmol), 3-trifluoromethylphenol (19.4 g, 64.7 mmol), triphenylphosphine (1.40 g, 73.9 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) were mixed. While stirring the mixture at room temperature, DEAD (21.1 ml, 80.0 mmol) was added thereto dropwise and heated at reflux for 2 days. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtering, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=87:13) to afford the title compound as a pale yellow oil (20.5 g, yield 86%).
