Triethylamine → N-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

An oven dried flask was charged with 4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid (7.87 g, 42.5 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (6.32 g, 46.8 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (8.96 g, 46.7 mmol) and ethyl acetate (150 mL), followed by fast dropwise addition of triethylamine (11.8 mL, 84.7 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting white suspension was stirred for 3 h. The reaction was poured into 1:1 water/ethyl acetate (400 mL). After separation, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (200 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give a solid upon standing over night. Trituration and washing with ethyl acetate (2×6 mL) afforded the title compound as a light yellow solid (9.87 g, 71% yield). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.74 (dd, J=6.4, 2.0, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=6.8, 4.0, 1H), 7.43-7.22 (m, 6H), 5.71 (d, J=6.4, 1H), 4.05-3.93 (m, 1H), 3.50 (s, 2H), 2.85-2.79 (m, 2H), 2.20-2.14 (m, 2H), 2.05-2.02 (m, 2H), 1.58-1.49 (m, 2H). Mass spec.: 358.49 (MH+).
