Reaction Steps

To an ice-cold solution of ethyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-4-carboxylate (0.60 g, 3.44 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL) was added DIPEA (2.95 mL, 17.24 mmol) followed by the addition of 5-bromo-2-chloropyrimidine (0.67 g, 3.44 mmol). The reaction was heated to 80° C. for 3 h then cooled to rt, water added 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 using 20% EtOAc:hexane to obtain the desired product as a yellow solid (0.57 g, 88%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.44 (s, 2H), 5.58 (s, 1H), 4.27 (m, 2H), 4.10 (q, J=7.20 Hz, 2H), 3.28 (m, 2H), 1.81 (m, 2H), 1.66 (m, 2H), and 1.18 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 3H).
