Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 67517884, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A dimethylsulfoxide (30 mL) solution of 3-fluorobenzonitrile (9.73 g, 80.0 mmol) and 4-hydroxypiperidine (8.15 g, 81 mmol) was heated to 100° C. and stirred for 5 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature and added dropwise to water (500 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×300 mL) and washed with water (2×200 mL), brine (200 mL), dried (magnesium sulfate) and concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude product. Chromatography over silica gel, eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate, afforded the title compound.
