Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(3-hydroxymethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-butan-1-one (Starting material 1-01e, 1.33 g, 7.20 mmol) in dry chloroform (10 ml) is cooled down to 0° C. with an ice-water bath. A solution of SOCl2 (1.43 g, 876 μl, 12 mmol) in dry chloroform (10 ml) is added dropwise. The mixture is allowed to stir at reflux for 30 min. The solution is cooled down to rt, SOCl2 (0.48 g, 0.3 ml, 4.1 mmol) is added dropwise and the resulting solution is allowed to stir at reflux for another 30 min. Evaporation of the solvents under reduced pressure gives a brown liquid which is purified by column chromatography on silica-gel (AcOEt/heptane, 35:65), yielding the title compound (1.15 g) in 78% as a colourless liquid: 1H-NMR (CDCl3): The product is a (1:1) mixture of rotamers: δ (ppm) 0.95 (t, 3H, CH3), 1.33-1.54 (m, 2H), 1.58-1.95 (m, 3H), 1.68 (quint., 1H, CH2CH2CH3), 2.32 (dd, 2H, CH2C═O), 2.60 (t, 0.5H), 2.83 (t, 0.5H), 2.99 (m, 2H), 3.36-3.55 (m, 2H), 3.77 (d, 0.5H), 3.93 (d, 0.5H), 4.30 (d, 0.5H), 4.54 (d, 0.5H).
