Piperidine → 1-(4-Iodobenzoyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-iodo-benzoyl chloride (2.00 g, 7.51 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL) was added piperidine (1.85 mL, 18.76 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 1.5 hour and then cooled to room temperature. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous 1M HCl solution, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound (2.37 g, 100%) as a white solid.
