Piperidine → 3-Nitro-4-piperidin-1-ylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-3-nitropyridine (1.0 equiv.) and piperidine (2.0 equiv.) in ethanol, at a concentration of 0.5 M, was stirred at rt for 48 hours at which time the ethanol was removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc (300 mL) and Na2CO3(sat) (75 mL), was washed further with H2O (50 mL), NaCl(sat.) (50 mL), was dried over MgSO4, was filtered and the volatiles were removed in vacuo yielding 3-nitro-4-(piperidin-1-yl)pyridine (95%). LCMS (m/z): 207.7 (MH+); LC Rt=1.60 min. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.80 (s, 1H), 8.31 (d, J=5.7, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=6.3, 1H), 3.18-3.21 (m, 4H), 1.64-1.78 (m, 6H).
