반응 조건

반응 단계

A suitable reactor maintained under nitrogen is charged with veratrole (12.5 kg, 90.0 mol) and about 87 kg of tetrahydrofuran. The solution is cooled and maintained below −10° C. while adding n-butyl lithium (22.9 kg, 83.3 mol, 23.3% solution in hexane). The mixture is warmed to about 0° C. for 1 hour, then to about 25° C. for at least 2 hours. In a separate reactor maintained under nitrogen is charged with 4-[(methoxymethylamino)carbonyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (15) as a heptanes wet cake (15.6 kg, 57.3 mol, dry weight basis) and about 66 kg of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is cooled below −10° C.1 and the lithiated veratrole solution is added at such a rate to maintain the temperature below −10° C. The mixture is warmed to about 25° C. for at least 6 hours.2 When complete, the title compound may be utilized in Scheme H, step a, Example 108 as the reaction solution.
