Diethyl Ether → Ethyl 1-benzoylpiperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a ice cold, stirred mixture of 55 g of ethyl isonipecotate, 200 mL of ether, 200 mL of saturated sodium carbonate and 200 mL of water was added dropwise 40 mL of benzoyl chloride. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm and stir overnight, diluted with 200 mL of ethyl acetate and separated. The organic layer was washed with 200 mL of 1N hydrochloric acid, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Drying the residue under vacuum gave 83.3 g (92%) of ethyl 1-benzoyl-4-piperidinecarboxylate as a white solid.
