Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3-(4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)-4-methylsulfonylbenzoic acid (0.70 g, 2.1 mmol) was added with stirring to a suspension of 0.25 g (6.3 mmol) of sodium hydride in a mixture of 0.40 mL (6.4 mmol) of methyl iodide and 10 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for 24 hr. The resulting mixture was treated with water, acidified with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted several times with dichloromethane. The organic layers were combined and dried over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure, and the residue was rinsed with petroleum ether to obtain 0.70 g (96 percent of theory) of the title compound.
