Sodium periodiate (6.09 g, 28.5 mmol) was added followed by water (30 mL) and ruthenium (III) chloride (43 mg, 0.21 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred at room temperature for 3 h 50 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (×3) and the combined organic phase passed through a phase separator and evaporated to yield crude 2-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (2.42 g, 94%) as a black solid.
