Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl piperidin-4-ylcarbamate (45 g) and dihydro-2H-pyran-4(3H)-one (24.74 g) in dichloromethane (1000 mL) was treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (61.9 g), stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, washed with 1M sodium hydroxide and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated.
