1-Benzyl-4-piperidone → N-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-[(1-benzyl-4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)acetyl]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

30 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added to 2.00 g of N-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-acetylaniline, and 8.8 ml of a 1.7M t-butyl lithium·pentane solution was added thereto under an argon stream at -78° C. Then, 1.41 g of 1-benzyl-4-piperidone was dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the solution was added dropwise. After stirring for 2 hours, a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was applied to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 2.07 g of the title compound as white powder.
