Water → Methyl 4-[2-(2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)acetylamino]-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5.4 g of potassium carbonate and 2 g of 4-Amino-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester hydrochloride in 10 ml of acetonitrile, 1.94 g of (2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetyl chloride in 5 ml of acetonitrile are added at a temperature of 0-5° C. After stirring for 22 h at room temperature the reaction mixture is poored on cold water and extracted with ethyl-acetate. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to yield 2.13 g of methyl 4-[2-(2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)acetylamino]-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylate as beige cristalline solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): □ 1.95-2.30 (br signals, total 4H), 2.27 (s, 3H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.77-3.23 (br signals, total 4H), 3.48 (s, 3H), 3.54 (s, 2H), 3.71 (s, 3H), 5.40 (br s, 1H), 7.02 (s, 1H), 7.04 (d, 1H), 7.11 (d, 1H).
