Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-(piperidin-4-yl)acetate, hydrochloride (2.0 g, 9.63 mmol) in DMF (40 mL) was added K2CO3 (3.99 g, 28.9 mmol) followed by 2-bromopyridine (1.521 g, 9.63 mmol) and stirred at 130° C. for 16 h. Reaction mixture was diluted with water (200 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with water (2×100 mL), brine (100 mL) and dried over Na2SO4 filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residues was purified by column chromatography using 100-200 silica gel by eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford ethyl 2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)piperidin-4-yl)acetate (600 mg, 19.86% yield) as color less liquid. LCMS (ES) m/e 249.20 (M+H)+.
