Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 1-(phenylsulfonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl isonipecotate (15.7 g, 0.1 mol) in methylene chloride (100 mL) at 0° C. was treated with pyridine (10 mL) and then benzenesulfonyl chloride (17.6 g, 0.1 mol). The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was then poured into 1 N HCl (1 L) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×500 mL). The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated at reduced pressure. The solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 17 g of product.
