4-Fluorobenzonitrile → 4-(4-Methyl-piperidin-1-yl)-benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Fluorobenzonitrile (1.21 g) was heated with 4-methylpiperidine (1.00 g) at 180° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was then taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with water, 2N sodium hydroxide solution and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and crystallized from n-pentane. This resulted in the product with the molecular weight of 200.29 (C13H16N2); MS (ESI): 201 (M+H+).
