Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 54167418, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of methylene chloride, 1.51 g (6.7 mmol) of 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-3-ethylidene-4-hydroxypiperidine were dissolved. To the resulting solution, 5 ml of trifluoroacetic acid were added under ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture, 11 ml of triethylamine and 1.70 g (6.7 mmol) of α-cyclopropylcarbonyl-2-fluorobenzylbromide were added under ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate was added to the residue and the solid so precipitated was filtered off. The filtrate was then concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column (eluting solvent: chloroform/methanol=100/1), whereby 1.52 g (yield: 74.9%) of the title compound were obtained as a yellow oil.
