4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → tert-Butyl 4-(4-formylphenoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

770 mg (3.83 mmol) of 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine and 467 mg (3.83 mmol) of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde were dissolved in 20 ml of THF. 1.2 g (4.6 mmol) of triphenylphosphine and 790 mg (4.6 mmol) of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylazodicarboxyamide were added to the obtained solution, and they were stirred overnight. After the treatment with ethyl acetate as the extracting solvent by an ordinary method, the obtained crude product was purified by the silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound.
