Potassium Carbonate → HCID 11123863, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of bis-(2-chloro-ethyl)-benzyl amine hydrochloride (6.6 g, 24.7 mmol), 18-Crown-6 (500 mg), and anhydrous K2CO3 (30 gm, excess) in dry acetone (250 ml), (4- benzyloxy-phenylsulfonyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (8.01 gm, 24 mmol) was added in a round bottom flask and the reaction mLxture was heated at reflux for 16 hours with good stirring. At the end, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool and the potassium salts were filtered off and the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was extracted with chloroform and washed with H2O . The organic layer was further washed well with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The dark brown reaction mixture was purified by silica gel coumn chromatography by eluting it with 30% ethylacetate: hexane and the product 4-(4-Benzyloxy-benzenesulfonyl)-1-benzyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester was isolated as Brown oil. Yield: 6.5 g, 55%; MS: 494 (M+H)
