Oxalyl chloride → benzyl 3-(chlorocarbonyl)tetrahydro-1(2H)-pyridinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cooled methylene chloride solution of 1-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]piperidine-3-carboxylic acid (512 mg, 1.95 mmol) under nitrogen was added oxalyl chloride (0.185 mL, 1.95 mmol) and a few drops N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction flask was warmed slowly to room temperature and after 2 hours the solvent was removed in vacuo. Toluene was added and removed in vacuo (2×) to give the title compound.
