Potassium Carbonate → 4-[2-(5-Cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetylamino]-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4 g of potassium carbonate and 2.5 g of 4-amino-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (preparation example P1, step P1.3) in 10 ml of acetonitrile is added at 0-5° C. a solution of 2.1 g of crude (5-cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetyl chloride in 5 ml of acetonitrile. After stirring for 18 hours at room temperature, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the crude residue of 4-[2-(5-cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetylamino]-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.2 g) is used without further purification in the next step.
