Water → [4-(Spiro[indane-1,4'-piperidine]-1'-ylmethyl)phenyl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2,3-dihydrospiro[indene-1,4′-piperidine] (0.4 g, 1.78 mmol) in DMF (12 mL) is added Cs2CO3 (1.4 g, 4.4 mmol) and [4-(bromomethyl)phenyl]methanol (0.36 g, 1.78 mmol) and the reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is poured into cold water and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic layer is washed with brine solution, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude material is purified by silica gel chromatography (gradient DCM/MeOH 8/2) to give the title compound (0.6 g, 98%). ESI/MS m/z 308.40 (M+H)+.
