Aluminium lithium hydride → (4-(Piperidin-2-yl)phenyl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of LiAlH4 (72 mg, 1.8 mmol) in 2 ml of anhydrous THF is added dropwise a solution of methyl 4-(piperidin-2-yl)benzoate hydrochloride (250 mg, 0.98 mmol) in THF at 0° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, and is then carefully quenched with water at 0° C. After filtration, the filtrate is evaporated to dryness to give 187 mg of crude product as white solids, which is used for the next reaction without further purification. MS (ESI) m/z 192.1 [M+H]+.
