Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (5.1 g) and 1,5-dibromopentane (2.5 mL) were sequentially added to an N,N-dimethylformamide (23 mL) solution of methyl 5-amino-2-(benzyloxy)benzoate (4.6 g), followed by stirring at 50 to 55° C. for 1 hour, at 55 to 60° C. for 1 hour, at 70° C. for 1 hour and 30 minutes, and then at 75 to 80° C. for 1 hour and 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then water and ethyl acetate were added thereto. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [Kanto Chemical Co., Inc., silica gel 60 (spherical), eluent: 95-65% hexane/ethyl acetate] to obtain 4.3 g of methyl 2-(benzyloxy)-5-(piperidin-1-yl)benzoate as a light yellow oily substance.
