Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-acetyl-4-hydroxy-4-(2-trimethylsilylethynyl)piperidine (13 g) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (100 ml), water (25 ml) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 drops) were added mercuric sulfate (1.6 g) and sulfuric acid (10 drops), and the resultant mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 hours. After adjusting pH to around 8 with sodium hydrogen carbonate, the reaction mixture was filtered with "florisil" (trademark, made by Floridin Co.) and the residue was washed with ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran. Filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave 1,4-diacetyl-4-hydroxypiperidine (8.75 g).
