Methanol → 4-(2-Phenyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (9H-fluoren-9-yl)methyl 4-(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (2 g, 4.29 mmol) in CH2Cl2:MeOH (15:5 mL) was added piperidine (5 mL). This reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 8 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude material was chromatographed over silica gel eluting with a gradient (0-10% MeOH:CH2Cl2) to afford 2-phenyl-4-(piperidin-4-yl)thiazole (1 g, 96%) as an off white solid.
