Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 3-bromophenol (2.0 g, 11.56 mmol), tert-butyl 4-((methylsulfonyl)oxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate (3.87 g, 13.872 mmol) and caesium carbonate (11.27 g, 34.68 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) was heated at 65° C. for 14 hours. Cooled to RT and diluted with ether. Ether layer was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulphate and distilled off the solvent to afford 3.5 g (85.3% yield) of the titled product after purification with (60/120 silica gel) column chromatography using 5% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent. MS: m/z=356.0 (M+1).
