Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(2-Methoxyethoxy)piperidine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-methoxyethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Preparation 81, 114 mg, 0.44 mmol) in methanol (3 mL) was added 4M HCl in dioxane (550 μL, 2.20 mmol) and the reaction stirred at rt for 16 h. Solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude residue dissolved in water (10 mL). The aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL) then concentrated in vacuo. Purification by trituration in ethyl acetate gave the title compound as the hydrochloride salt. δH (CD3OD): 3.74–3.67 (1H, m), 3.64 (2H, m), 3.56 (2H, m), 3.40–2.39 (7H, m), 2.11–1.96 (2H, m), 1.93–1.83 (2H, m).
