Sodium Iodide → HCID 57430094, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-piperidone monohydrate hydrochloride (1.26 g, 8.23 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 mL), potassium carbonate (3.4 g, 24.6 mmol) was added, followed by the tosylate 128NLS46-B (3.54 g, 12.36 mmol) and sodium iodide (1.85 g, 12.35 mmol) and stirring was continued overnight at 60° C. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate evaporated in vacuo and the residue partitioned between 1M NaOH and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer extracted twice with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to dryness. Purification of the residue by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with a stepwise gradient of 0-4% methanol in dichloromethane, afforded 1-[2-(1,3-dioxan-4-yl)ethyl]piperidin-4-one (128NLS50, 1.73 g, 98%).
