Water → 1-(2-Bromoacetyl)-4-(4-ethylphenoxy)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 6.03 ml (69.3 mmol) of bromoacetyl bromide, 13.0 g (155 mmol) of sodium bicarbonate and 160 ml of dry dichloromethane in an ice bath was added dropwise a solution of 13.0 g (63.4 mmol) of 4-(4-ethylphenoxy)piperidine in 140 ml of dry dichloromethane. The mixture was stirred 1 hour at 0° and 45 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was subsequently poured into water, extracted twice with dichloromethane, washed with saturated sodium chloride and dried over potassium carbonate. Filtration followed by evaporation of the solvent provided 20.0 g (61.3 mmol) of 1-(2-bromoacetyl)-4-(4-ethylphenoxy)piperidine as an oil.
