Hydrochloric Acid → Lithium Chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate (0.013 g, 0.00030 mol) was added to ethyl (3S)-1-(2-fluoro-4-pyridin-4-ylphenyl)piperidine-3-carboxylate (0.050 g, 0.00015 mol) in methanol (0.5 mL, 0.01 mol), tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL, 0.006 mol) and water (0.5 mL, 0.03 mol). The mixture was irradiated under microwave at 100° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and adjusted to pH=5 by adding 1N HCl. The volatiles were removed in-vacuo to afford the desired product and LiCl, which was used as a mixture in the next step.
