Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (10 g, 63.1 mmol), nitroethane (54.6 mL, 757 mmol) and piperidine (1.869 mL, 18.92 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (150 mL) and refluxed under Dean Stark conditions overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvents were evaporated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica, heptane/EtOAc 98:2) to give the desired product (10.4 g, 76%) as a yellow solid.
