Imidazole → Tert-butyl 4-(2-iodoethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-11 (10.42 g, 0.048 mol) was dissolved in 400 ml benzene, imidazole (4.66 g, 0.068 mol), triphenylphosphine (15.24 g, 0.05 mol) and iodine (0.048 mol) were added at room temperature. After 6 hours the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give a dark residue. This was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10% EtOAc-hexanes to give 2-12 as a yellow oil.
