Triethylamine → (R*)-3-[1-((R)-2,3-Dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxine-2-carbonyl)piperidin-3-yl]benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-2,3-Dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxine-2-carbonyl chloride (240 mg, 1.21 mmol) in DCM (5 ml) was added to an ice-cold mixture of 3-(piperidin-3-yl)benzoic acid methyl ester (267 mg, 1.21 mmol), triethylamine (59 mg, 0.58 mmol) and DCM (10 ml). After stirring for 2 h at RT, the mixture was washed with 1 M HCl (10 ml) and 1 M Na2CO3. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by flash chromatography using heptane/EtOAc as eluent. The first eluting diastereomer was collected to afford 98 mg of the title compound.
