1-(2-fluoroethyl)piperidin-4-amine;dihydrochloride

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a mixture of 0.5432 g (1.91 mmole) of 4-amino-3-methoxy-benzoic acid benzotriazol-1-yl ester, 0.4187 g (1.91 mmole) of 1-(2-fluoro-ethyl)-piperidin-4-ylamine dihydrochloride and 8 mL of dimethylformamide was added 1.3316 mL of triethylamine. The mixture was stirred for 25 hours, then taken up in ethyl acetate and twice with 50 mL 0.5 M sodium carbonate, once with 50 mL water, once with 50 mL brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with acetonitrile-methanol-triethylamine (90:10:0.8), to give 0.4159 g 4-amino-N-[1-(2-fluoro-ethyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-3-methoxy-benzamide. dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate filtered concentrated under reduced pressure The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with acetonitrile-methanol-triethylamine (90:10:0.8)
