Trityl chloride → 1-Tritylpiperidin-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trityl chloride (13.1 g, 47.0 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 3-piperidone hydrochloride (5.79 g, 42.7 mmol) and triethylamine (14.9 ml, 107 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 ml) and the reaction was stirred for 16 h under N2 at room temperature. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate washed sequentially with H2O and 5% aqueous citric acid, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure. Trituration with pentane afforded the subtitle compound as a colourless solid (4.8 g, 33%). Rf 0.23 (CH2Cl2/pentane 2/3, v/v). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 2.05 (2H, m), 2.35 (2H, m), 2.45 (2H, m), 2.85 (2H, s), 7.06-7.55 (15H, m).
