Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 0–5° C., propargyl bromide (12.01 g) was added dropwise with stirring to a suspension of 4-methylpiperidine (10.0 g) and potassium carbonate (13.96 g) in dry acetone (80 ml). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 6 hours and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up in dichloromethane. The organic phase was washed with water (3×15 ml), dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Distillation of the residue under reduced pressure gave 12.73 g of an oil of boiling point 60° C./16 mm Hg.
