Trimethylsilyldiazomethane → 4-(2-Diazo-acetyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chlorocarbonyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (43 g, 0.15 mol) in dichloromethane (300 mL) was treated with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (2.0 M in hexanes, 150 mL, 0.31 mol) over 15 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours and the mixture was concentrated to afford crude 4-(2-diazo-acetyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (44 g), which was used without further purification.
