Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-tert-butyl 3-ethyl piperidine-1,3-dicarboxylate (2.6 g, 10.0 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was slowly added LDA (6.7 mL, 12.0 mmol, 1.8 M solution in heptane-/tetrahydrofuran/ethylbenzene) at −78° C. and the mixture was slowly warmed to −55° C. over 1 h. To this mixture, 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene (1.55 g, 10.5 mmol) was slowly added and the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 4 h. The mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl and extracted with diethyl ether, and the combined extracts were washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The product (2.75 g, 85%) was purified by CombiFlash eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate.
