Hydrogen Peroxide → HCID 53939771, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.5 ml of hydrogen peroxide (33%) and 0.2 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide solution were added to a solution of 236 mg (0.54 mmol) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl-3-(2-cyano-benzyloxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate in 5 ml of methanol. The reaction solution was heated under reflux for 2 hours. Subsequently, the same amounts of hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide solution were again added and the solution was heated for a further 2 hours. Thereafter, the solution was cooled and evaporated under reduced pressure. For purification, the residue was chromatographed on silica gel using a 9:1 mixture of methylene chloride and ether as the eluent. There were obtained 140 mg (57% of theory) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl-3-(2-carbamoyl-benzyloxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless solid; MS: 455 (M+H)+.
