Oxalyl chloride → 1-Methylpiperidine-4-carbonyl chloride hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-methyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (11.36 mmol, 2.04 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (0.129 mmol, 0.01 ml, 9.40 mg) in dichloromethane (10 ml) at 0° C. was added oxalyl chloride (14.76 mmol, 1.40 ml) drop wise. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give 1-methylpiperidine-4-carbonyl chloride hydrochloride (2.5 g).
