Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Piperidone hydrochloride (3.0 g, 19.5 mmol) dissolved in DMF (25 ml), N,N-diiso-propylcarbodiimide (8.2 g, 65.1 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (8.8 g, 65.1 mmol) were added at 0° C. to a solution of 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid (11.8 g, 65.1 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 h and subsequently at RT for 2 d. Aqueous 1M Na2CO3 solution (20 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and it was extracted with EA (3×20 ml). After drying of the combined organic phases, the solvent was removed and the residue was purified by means of column chromatography. The product 1-(2,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)piperidin-4-one was obtained in a yield of 2.7 g (39%).
