Diisopropylethylamine → 4-bromo-2-chloro-5-fluoro-N-(1-methyl-4-piperidyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-bromo-2-chloro-5-fluoro-benzoic acid (Apollo Scientific; 5.0 g, 19.8 mmol) was added to DMF (250 mL), to this was added HBTU (9.8 g, 25.7 mmol), N-methyl-4-aminopiperidine (Fluorochem; 2.5 g, 21.8 mmol) and DIPEA (7.0 mL, 39.5 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight, evaporated to dryness, quenched with 2.0 N NaOH (100 mL), extracted with DCM (3×100 mL), dried and solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in hot acetonitrile, allowed to cool filtered, and the filtrate passed through a SCX column and the residue, after evaporation of product containing fractions, recrystallised from hot acetonitrile to yield the title compound as a white solid (5.0 g, 82%).
