Participants

Reaction Steps

5.632 g of 4-Bromobenzyl bromide and 2.422 g of 2-Phenylpiperidine (Array) in 50 mL of acetonitrile were stirred at room temperature and 6.229 g of potassium carbonate was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to afford a brown solid. Purification was done by flash chromatography to afford product. Wt:0.908 g, 54% yield.
