Triethylamine → 1-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methyl]-4-piperidinol

To a stirred solution of 4-hydroxypiperidine (0.97 g, 9.60 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (20 mL) at 0° C. was added 1-(bromomethyl)-4-methoxybenzene (1.93 g, 9.60 mmol) and triethylamine (2.16 g, 21.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. After this time the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (40 mL), washed with water (20 mL), then brine (20 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered off and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 0-5% methanol/methylene chloride) to afford 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)piperidin-4-ol as a brown oil (1.70 g, 80%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 7.27 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 3.76 (m, 1H), 3.55 (s, 2H), 2.81 (m, 2H), 2.29 (m, 2H), 1.96 (m, 2H), 1.64 (m, 3H); MS (ESI): 222.1 (M+H).
