Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-benzyl-4-(isopropylamino)piperidine (8 g, 34.45 mmol) and DIPEA (7.2 mL, 41.3 mmol) in 200 mL of dichloromethane was added dropwise a solution of 2-chloroacetyl chloride (3.01 mL, 37.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (400 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min and then at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane/triethylamine: 42.5/56.5/1) to give 5.35 g of the title intermediate as a viscous oil (50% yield).
