Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 4-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (700 mg, 2.27 mmol, intermediate N) and HCl in dioxane (4.0 ml, 16 mmol) was stirred at rt for 3 h. The crude mass was concentrated under vacuum and the solid residue was washed with 3×10 ml of DCM to remove non-polar impurities. The desired salt was collected as a fine solid (480 mg, 93%). LCMS (ES-API) m/z 190.2 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.37 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 6.98 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 6.08-5.98 (m, 1H), 5.11 (s, 1H), 3.97 (br. s., 1H), 3.52 (s, 1H), 3.32 (s, 3H), 2.47-2.37 (m, 1H).
