Abstract
Abstract A convenient method to access a broad variety of N-alkyl-(2,2,6,6)-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol compounds is reported. The thermal treatment of a mixture of (2,2,6,6)-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol and allyl or benzyl bromide derivatives gave the corresponding N–alkylated compounds in good yields while leaving the hydroxyl functional group intact. Whereas 40 h were needed to reach complete conversion, microwave irradiation allowed the reaction time to be reduced (20 min) and improved the yields in most cases.
