Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of piperidin-4-yl-acetic acid ethyl ester hydrochloride (24 mmol) in anhydrous DMSO (20 mL) is added 1-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-ethanone (24 mmol) and potassium carbonate (24 mmol). The resulting mixture is heated at 90° C. for 36 hr. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to rt, poured into cold water (100 mL), and extracted with EtOAc (40 mL×3). The combined organic layers are washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The crude product is purified through silica gel flash chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate 2:1) to give the title compound as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.86 (2H, d), 6.85 (2H, d), 4.15 (2H, q), 3.89 (2H, br, d), 2.90 (2H, dt), 2.51 (3H, s), 2.27 (2H, d), 2.04 (1H, m), 1.83 (2H, br, d), 1.38 (2H, dt), 1.27 (3H, t); LC-MS (M+1): 290.
