2-Chloropyridine → 1-(Pyridin-2-yl)piperidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of piperidin-4-ol (100 mg, 0.99 mmol), desired 2-chlorpyridine (0.99 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), and DIPEA (345 μL, 1.98 mmol) in isopropanol (1.5 mL) was heated by microwave irradiation at 160° C. for 2.5 h. The reaction was purified directly by silica gel chromatography to give the desired 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-ol (using 5-bromo-2-chloropyridine, 5′-bromo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-ol was isolated in 27% yield, 69.1 mg, 0.27 mmol; using 5-trifluoromethyl-2-chloropyridine, 5′-trifluoromethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-ol was isolated in 62% yield, 150.1 mg, 0.61 mmol).
