Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by the method of Preparation 9 from benzyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylate [Preparation 59] and carbon tetrabromide. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a solvent gradient of 0:100 changing to 80:20, by volume ethyl acetate:hexane, in 10% increments, to afford benzyl 3-(bromomethyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylate as an oil.
