Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Isopropylpiperidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-piperidinol (2.13 g, 21.1 mmol) was added to methanol (21 mL), and potassium carbonate (5.83 g, 42.2 mmol) and 2-bromopropane (11.2 g, 90.7 mmol) were further added thereto, followed by refluxing for 12 hours while stirring. Then, the reaction mixture was mixed with 2M HCl (40 mL) and extracted three times with dichloromethane (50 mL). The organic layer thus obtained was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (2.2 g) as oil.
