4-(Trifluoromethoxy)aniline → HCID 53233981, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-benzyl-4-(2-methoxyethyl)-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (5.2 g, 0.017 mol) and 4-(trifluormethoxy)aniline (4.57 ml, 0.034 mol) in toluene (200 ml) under an argon atmosphere at room temperature, was added dimethylaluminium chloride (0.9M solution in heptane, 37 ml, 0.034 mol) and the mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched was sat. Na2SO4 (aq) solution and the mixture was filtered through Celite® and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (1:3 AcOEt/heptane) to give 8-benzyl-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-2,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-1-one as a white solid. MS (ESI): 405.4 (MH+).
