1,2-Dichloroethane → (4-Hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)(4-styrylphenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-ethyl 4-styrylbenzoic acid (300 mg, 1.3 mmol) and DIPEA (270 uL, 2.1 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added EDC (280 mg, 1.5 mmol), HOBt (270 mg, 2.0 mmol) and 4-hydroxypiperidine hydrochloride (258 mg, 1.8 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction was diluted with water (10 mL) and (4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)(4-styrylphenyl)methanone was isolated (390 mg, 98%) as a white solid by vacuum filtration; 1H-nmr (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.58 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.56-7.52 (m, 2H), 7.44-7.34 (m, 5H), 6.95 (d, 1H), 6.89 (d, 1H), 4.21-4.08 (m, 1H), 4.03-3.96 (m, 1H), 3.81-3.48 (m, 1H), 3.47-3.16 (m, 2H), 2.08-1.79 (m, 2H), 1.71-1.42 (m, 2H); LCMS (214 nM) 3.32 min (>98%); MS (ESI) m/z=308.1.
