Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(2,3-Dimethoxybenzoyl)piperidine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 25-mL three-neck flask equipped with a thermowell with a thermocouple, a reflux condenser, a stopper, and a magnetic stir bar was placed 4-(2,3-dimethoxybenzoyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (7) (1.1 g, 3.0 mmol) and 9.7 g of tetrahydrofuran. After 4-(2,3-dimethoxybenzoyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (7) had dissolved, 6.3 g of 3N aqueous hydrochloric acid was added in one portion. The reaction was stirred to 18 hours at ambient temperature and then heated to 60° C. for 4 hours to give 4-(2,3-dimethoxybenzoyl)piperidine hydrochloride.
