Iodobenzene → N-BOC-4-(phenylethynyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 4-ethynylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (12.5 g) and iodobenzene (12.8 g) was dissolved in THF:TEA=1:1 (v/v) mixed solvent (125 ml), then at room temperature, copper iodide (455 mg) and palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine complex (1.38 g) were added thereto in that order, followed by stirring overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated, EtOAc was added to it, and washed with aqueous 1 M hydrochloric acid solution, water and saturated brine in that order. This was dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated to obtain a light brown oil. This was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane:EtOAc=19:1 (v/v)) to obtain tert-butyl 4-(phenylethynyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (15.5 g) as a light brown oil.
