Acetic Acid → Ammonia

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 4-hydroxypiperidine (10 g, 0.10 mol), acetone (21.8 mL, 0.30 mol), acetic acid (5.7 mL, 0.10 mol) and tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) was stirred in an ice bath for 15 minutes. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (31.3 g, 0.15mol) was then added portionwise and the mixture was stirred for a further 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was then warmed and stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes and at 40° C. for 2.5 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in water (50 mL). The aqueous solution was basified to pH9 with 0.88 ammonia and the solution was stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then extracted with diethyl ether (2×200 mL) and the combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil. The oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with dichloromethane:methanol:0.88 ammonia, 96:4:1 to 90:10:1, to afford the title product as a yellow oil in quantitative yield, 14.6 g.
