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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To N-Boc-4-piperidine-ethanol (5.00 g, 21.8 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (6.29 g, 24.0 mmol), imidazole (1.64 g, 24.1 mmol) and iodine (6.09 g, 24.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at rt for 2 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite® purified by flash chromatography to provide the title compound of step A (6.31 g, 18.6 mmol, 85%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.07 (dq, J=12.2, 4.3 Hz, 2H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.49-1.58 (m, 1H), 1.62 (d, J=13.2 Hz, 2H), 1.75 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 2.67 (td, J=12.9, 2.5 Hz, 2H), 3.18 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 4.06 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 2H).
