Dimethyl Sulfoxide → (1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-(1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

After adding 0.511 ml of dimethylsulfoxide dropwise to a dichloromethane solution (15 ml) containing 0.315 ml of oxalyl chloride at −70° C., the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, a solution of 597 mg of (1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-(1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)methanol in dichloromethane (5 ml) was added dropwise, and stirring was continued for 1 hour. Next, 2.5 ml of triethylamine was added dropwise to the reaction solution, the cooling bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. Water was added to the reaction solution, and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (517 mg, 33% yield).
