Trimethylsilyldiazomethane → Methyl 4-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(methoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl)butanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(methoxy-carbonyl)piperidin-4-yl)butanoic acid (23.4 g, 0.071 mol) from Step D in 3:1 dichloromethane/methanol (480 mL) at 0° C. was added a solution of trimethylsilyldiazomethane (53 mL, 0.11 mol, 2.0M in hexane). The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min and then concentrated to afford 25.5 g. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 20–30% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give the title compound (20.1 g).
