1-Bromo-3-chlorobenzene → (R)-Tert-butyl 3-(3-chlorobenzoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Temperature

-78 °C

To a solution of 1-bromo-3-chlorobenzene (15 g, 78.3 mmol) in anhydrous THF (150 mL) cooled to −78° C. was added dropwise a solution of 2.5 M n-BuLi in hexanes (31.3 mL, 78.34 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h and a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-(methoxy(methyl)carbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (17.8 g, 65.3 mmol) in anhydrous THF (50 mL) was added dropwise. After addition, the mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred for 2 h. The mixture was quenched with satd aq NH4Cl (250 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×150 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc 5:95) to give (R)-tert-butyl 3-(3-chlorobenzoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (12.9 g, 51%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.54-1.73 (m, 2H), 1.75 (m, 1H), 2.00 (m, 1H), 2.71-2.78 (m, 1H), 2.93 (m, 2H), 3.30-3.35 (m, 1H), 4.22 (m, 1H), 7.39-7.42 (t, 1H), 7.52 (d, 1H), 7.89 (d, 1H), 7.90 (m, 1H). MS m/z 324 (M+H+).
