Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-hydroxypyridine (2.0 g), tert-butyl 4-hydroxy-1-piperidinecarboxylate (5.3 g) and triphenylphosphine (8.3 g) in tetrahydrofuran (63 ml) was slowly added diethyl azodicarboxylate (5.5 g) at 8° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product of the title compound and the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel.
