Methyl chloroformate (0.690 mL, 8.91 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 1 h. DCM (170 mL) was added. The organic phase was washed with 0.1 M HCl (2×200 mL), satd NaHCO3 (200 mL), dried with a phase separator and evaporated in vacuo yielding dimethyl 2-(5-tert-butylthiophen-2-yl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate (2.490 g, 99%) as a dark oil.
