Triethylamine → tert-Butyl 2-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of piperidin-2-one (25 g, 252.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (250 ml) was cooled to 0° C. and added DMAP (6.1 g, 50.4 mmol) and triethyl amine (25.5 g, 252.2 mmol) and stirred for 10 min at same temperature then added (BOC)2O (66 g, 302.6 mmol) and continue stirring for 2 h at room temperature. After completion of starting material, solvent was removed and residue was re-dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4 and concentration to afford crude product as brown liquid (31.8 g) which was used directly for the next step. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.66-3.62 (2H, m), 2.52-2.47 (2H, m), 1.83-1.79 (4H, m), 1.52 (9H, s) ppm.
