4-Fluorobenzoyl chloride → Ethyl 1-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was run in the same manner as ethyl 1-benzoyl-3-piperidinecarboxylate, starting with ethyl nipecotate (230.9 mg; 1.47 mmol) and commercially available 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride (173 μl; 1.47 mmol). The crude product was distilled at 220° C./0.1 torr, giving ethyl 1-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-3-piperidinecarboxylate (283.4 mg) as a light yellow oil. MS m/z (positive ion) 581 (dimer+Na+; 50), 302 (M+Na+; 100), 280 (MH+; 95), 234 (45), 229 (25), 158 (50), 122.5 (60).
