Methanesulfonyl chloride → 4-Benzoyl-1-methanesulphonylpiperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Neat DIPEA (1.54 ml, 8.86 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of phenyl(4-piperidinyl)methanone hydrochloride (1 g, 4.43 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) at 0° C. Then, neat MsCl (377 μL, 4.87 mmol) was slowly added and the cooling bath was removed. After 30 minutes, the reaction was quenched with water and diluted with CH2Cl2. After separation, the organic phase was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness. The final ketone 1 was obtained as a white solid (1.16 g, 98%).
