2-Bromoethanol → 2-(4-Aminopiperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.5 g of tert-butyl 4-piperidinylcarbamate, 0.21 ml of 2-bromoethanol and 2.76 g of K2CO3 in 10 ml of acetonitrile was stirred for 5 hrs under reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled to a room temperature, filtered to remove solids, and concentrated. The concentrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography (mobile phase: 20 (v/v) % EA in hexane) to afford 0.58 g of the title compound (Yield: 94%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.76 (d, 1H), 3.65 (t, 2H), 3.48 (m, 1H), 2.92 (m, 2H), 2.59 (t, 2H), 2.26 (m, 2H), 1.94 (m, 2H), 1.52 (m, 2H), 1.44 (s, 9H) ppm.
