Ammonium Chloride → tert-Butyl 1-methyl-1-hydroxyspiro[indane-3,4'-piperidine]-1'-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 1-oxospiro[indane-3,4′-piperidine]-1′-carboxylate (0.202 g, 0.671 mmol) was dissolved in THF (3 mL), 3 mmol/L methylmagnesium chloride-THF solution (0.450 mL, 1.34 mmol) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added dropwise to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) to give the title compound (0.141 g, 66%).
