Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate → Tert-butyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-methylpiperidine (285) (4.1 g, 16 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added (BOC)2O (5.7 g, 26 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min before being diluted with water (10 mL). The mixture was extracted with DCM (10 mL×2). The combine organic layers were washed with brine, dried, concentrated in vacuo, and subjected to silica flash column using 0 to 20% EtOAc in PE to give tert-butyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (286) (5 g, 88%) as colorless oil.
