Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid → N-(1-cyclopropylcarbonylpiperidin-4-yl)-4-fluorobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of N-(piperidin-4-yl)-4-fluorobenzamide (556 mg) in dichloromethane (6 ml) were added cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (0.20 ml), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (338 mg) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (480 mg) at ambient temperature. After stirring for 21 hours, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, and washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and brine. After drying with magnesium sulfate, the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. After crystallization from diisopropyl ether, N-(1-cyclopropylcarbonylpiperidin-4-yl)-4-fluorobenzamide (627 mg) was obtained.
