Sodium borohydride → HCID 11461534, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (3.63 g, 11.2 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (100 mL) then sodium tetrahydroborate (424 mg, 112 mmol) was added to this solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. LC-MS analysis of the reaction mixture showed no more starting material. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with water (2×50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield tert-butyl 4-((4-chlorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (3.46 g, 94%), which was used in the next step directly. m/z: 326 (MH+)
