Benzyl Bromide → Ethyl 1,2-dibenzyl-3-oxopiperidine-4-carboxylate

To a solution of 3.7 mL (26.6 mmol) of diisopropylethylamine in 55 mL of dry THF at −78° C. was added dropwise n-butyllithium (25 mmol, 10.0 mL of a 2.5 M solution in hexanes). The bath was replaced with an ice-water bath. After 20 min, the mixture was recooled to −78° C. and 3.10 g (11.86 mmol) of ethyl 1-benzyl-3-oxopiperidine-4-carboxylate in a mixture of 20 mL of THF and 4.4 mL (24.4 mmol) of HMPA was added dropwise. After 2 h, 1.47 mL (12.4 mmol) of benzyl bromide was added dropwise, and the resultant mixture was allowed to warm slowly to ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 5 mL of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. THF was removed in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between ether and water. The organic phase was washed with 2 portions of brine and concentrated to give a red oil. Purification by Biotage chromatography (silica gel, 3% ethyl acetate/hexane) gave 1.96 g (47%) of the title compound as a light yellow mobile oil. LC-MS 352.1 (M+1).
