Pivaloyl chloride → HCID 22182285, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

21.4 g (0.1 mol) of 4-propoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxide (for preparation, see DE-A4 219 459) are hydrogenated to saturation at 4 bar in 20 ml of toluene using 0.05 g of platinum (10% on carbon). The catalyst is filtered off and 13 g (0.108 mol) of pivaloyl chloride are slowly added dropwise to the colourless filtrate under nitrogen. After the slightly exothermic reaction has abated, the mixture is stirred for another 1 hour at room temperature and diluted with 20 ml of water. The organic phase is washed with 4% NaOH solution, dried over MgSO4 and freed of the toluene on a rotary evaporator. This gives 13.5 g (45%) of the compound 110 which is in the form of a colourless oil.
