rel-(3R,5S)-3,5-Dimethylpiperidine → 2,3-Dichloro-5-(cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidinosulfonyl)benzoic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidine (374 mg.; 3.3 m moles) in 3 ml. of methylene chloride is added 192 mg. (0.66 m moles) of 2,3-dichloro-5-chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid and the mixture heated to reflux for 1.5 hrs. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure, and the residue is partitioned between 25 ml. of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution and diethyl ether. The aqueous layer is separated, acidified with 6 N hydrochloric acid and the resulting precipitated product filtered and dried, 230 mg., m.p. 235°-238° C. Recrystallization from acetonitrile gave the purified product, m.p. 244°-245° C.
