Piperidine → 2-(4-Nitrophenyl)-5-(1-piperidylmethyl)oxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(Bromomethyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)oxazole (800 mg, 2.82 mmol) was heated with piperidine (10 mL) in a sealed tube at 100-110° C. for 12 h. The resulting mixture was allowed to cool ambient temperature and then poured into water (30 0 mL) and stirred for 30 min. The resultant solid was filtered and washed with water to remove excess piperidine. The residue was dried to give 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(1-piperidylmethyl)oxazole (700 mg, 86%) as light orange colour solid.
