Triphenylphosphine → Tert-butyl 4-((6-chloropyridin-3-yl)oxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-5-hydroxy pyridine (5.00 g, 38.60 mmol), 1-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine (9.32 g, 46.31 mmol) and triphenyl phosphine (15.19 g, 57.90 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at 0° C. was treated dropwise with diisopropylazodicarboxylate (11.14 mL, 57.90 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under vacuum. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (25-40% EtOAc in petrol (40-60° C.)) gave 4-(6-chloro-pyridin-3-yloxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.70 g, 47%) as a pale yellow residue. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.06 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H), 7.23-7.16 (m, 2H), 4.51-4.41 (m, 1H), 3.75-3.64 (m, 2H), 3.40-3.29 (m, 2H), 1.99-1.86 (m, 2H), 1.83-1.67 (m, 2H), 1.47 (s, 9H). LCMS (m/z, Method A) ES+ 311.1 [M+1]+.
