Diisopropylethylamine → Tert-butyl 4-[[benzyl-[2-oxo-2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amino]methyl]-4-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 4-[(benzylamino)methyl]-4-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylate (3.0 g, 9.36 mmol) in DMF (19 mL) at 0° C. was added diisopropyl ethylamine (3.4 mL, 19.66 mmol) followed by the addition of 2-bromo-1-(2-pyridyl)ethanone hydrobromide salt (2.6 g, 9.36 mmol) and reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours warming from 0° C. to 10° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with sat. NaHCO3 solution and then brine. The organics were separated, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue, which was purified using silica gel column chromatography using MeOH/DCM (1-15%) as eluent to give tert-butyl 4-[[benzyl-[2-oxo-2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amino]methyl]-4-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylate (3.8, 92%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 439.2. found 440.0 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.12 minutes (3 min run).
