Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(2-(Thiophen-2-yl)acetyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 1-(2-thiopheneacetyl)-3-piperidinecarboxylate (256.4 mg; 0.91 mmol) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (5 ml). 1 N sodium hydroxide (10 ml) was added and the mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for approximately 1 hour. It was then poured into 1 N HCl and extracted with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane was dried with magnesium sulfate and then evaporated at ambient temperature under reduced pressure, giving 1-(2-thiopheneacetyl)-3-piperidine carboxylic acid (210.1 mg) as a thick, yellow oil which solidified without further purification. MS m/z (positive ion) 254 (MH+; 100).
