Water → Methyl 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl piperidine-4-carboxylate (10.00 g, 6.4 mmol) and triethylamine (10.32 g, 10.2 mmol) in CHCl3 (100 mL), benzyl bromide (14.69 g, 8.6 mmol) was added under argon atmosphere while cooling with a water and ice bath. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. CHCl3 and water were added and the two phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with CHCl3. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness, to afford 13.80 g of the desired compound as an orange solid (yield: 88%).
