Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-hydroxypiperidine (6.18 g, 61 mmol), and potassium carbonate (11.0 g, 80 mmol) in N,N dimethylformamide (150 mL) was added 2-(methylsulfonyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (12.3 g, 54 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 18 h. To the reaction mixture was added 300 mL of water and the heterogeneous mixture was stirred for an additional 10 minutes. The white solid was filtered and washed with water to afford the desired product.
