Hexane → Ethyl 1-(5-bromo-3-pyridyl)-4-methyl-piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methylpiperidine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (3.6 g, 21.10 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (1.63 g, 5 mmol) at rt. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 10 min followed by addition of 3,5-dibromopyridine (1.0 g, 4.20 mmol). The reaction was heated up to 150° C. for 48 h. After completion (by TLC), the reaction mixture was poured into 100 mL of ice-cold water and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified over 100-200 M silica-gel by using 20.0% EtOAc:hexane to obtain a viscous liquid product (0.2 g, 14% yield). MS: 327.08 [M+H]+.
