4-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)piperidine → HCID 68809285, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ((R)-1-benzyl-2-oxo-ethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.5 g, 2.0 mmol), (4-fluoro-phenyl)-piperidin-4-yl-methanone (0.414 g, 2.0 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.638 g, 3.0 mmol) in tetrahydroftiran (20 ml) is stirred at ambient temperature for 24 hours. The solvent is evaporated and the residue redissolved in dichloromethane and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The dichloromethane is dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The crude product is purified by flash silica chromatography (ethylacetate:hexane, 3:1 elution) to afford {(R)-1-benzyl-2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethyl}carbamic acid tert-butyl ester. [MH]+441.3.
