Butyryl chloride → HCID 43422408, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of piperidin-3-yl-methanol (2.3 g, 20 mmol) in water (30 ml) is slowly added NaOH (1.2 g, 30 mmol). After total dissolution butyryl chloride (2.15 g, 2.11 ml, 20.2 mmol) is slowly added dropwise. The resulting mixture is allowed to stir overnight at rt. The water phase is extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvents are evaporated in vacuo yielding the title compound (2.48 g) in 66% as a colourless oil which solidifies on standing: tR=1.52 min (LC-2), ESI-MS (pos.): m/z 208.00 [M+Na]+; 1H-NMR (CDCl3): The product is a (1:1) mixture of rotamers: δ (ppm) 0.92 (t, 3H, CH3), 1.21 (m, 0.5H), 1.33-1.52 (m, 2H), 1.57-1.84 (m, 5H), 2.26-2.32 (m, 2H, CH2C═O), 2.74 (dt, 0.5H), 2.87 (dd, 0.5H), 3.10 (dd, 1H), 3.26 (ddd, 1H), 3.39-3.45 (m, 1.5H), 3.51-3.59 (m, 1H), 3.91 (dd, 1H), 4.29 (dt, 0.5H).
