Diisopropyl Ether → tert-Butyl 4-(2-(5-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yloxy)ethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (7.7 g) and 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (11.6 g) were added to a mixture of 5-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-ol (7 g) and toluene (124 mL) at room temperature. Tributylphosphine (11.6 mL) was added thereto under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After diisopropylether was added to the reaction mixture, the mixture was stirred, and the insoluble material was separated by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Hex:EtOAc=100:0 to 70:30), whereby tert-butyl 4-(2-{[5-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]oxy}ethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (8.93 g) was obtained as a colorless oil.
