1-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzene → 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)-4-piperidinol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round bottom flask was dried in an oven overnight and cooled to room temperature under Ar(g). The flask was charged with fluoronitrobenzene (0.500 mL, 4.71 mmol), Piperidin-4-ol (0.619 g, 2.30 mmol) and dioxane (9.0 mL). To the resulting solution, diisopropyl ethyl amine (0.463 mL, 6.12 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction was allowed to stir at 105° C. for 48 h. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3ט50 mL), and brine (2ט50 mL). The combined organic layers were then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was then purified over silica (10% MeOH/90% CHCl3) affording a yellow solid (0.742 g, 3.34 mmol, 71% yield).
