Benzylamine → Ethyl cis-4-amino-3-ethoxy-1-piperidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 21 parts of ethyl 3-ethoxy-4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate, 11 parts of benzenemethanamine, 1 part of a solution of thiophene in ethanol 4% and 320 parts of methanol was hydrogenated at normal pressure and at room temperature with 2 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated, yielding 18 parts of ethyl cis-4-amino-3-ethoxy-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a residue (intermediate 69).
