Ammonium formate → HCID 69669353, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ammonium formate (1.2 g, 19.1 mmol) was added into a suspension of tert-butyl 4-(5-fluoro-2-nitrophenoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate (2.0 g, 5.8 mmol) and palladium on carbon (5%, 0.4 g) in MeOH (30 mL) at ambient temperature. The solution was stirred for 0.5 hours, filtered through Celite and washed with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and triturated from diethyl ether to remove the ammonium formate by-products. The sample was purified by flash column chromatography (1:10→1:1 EtOAc/DCM) to yield a colourless oil which crystallised from diethyl ether/petroleum ether (40-60° C.) as a colourless solid (1.6 g, 87%).
