tert-Butyl 4-formylpiperidine-1-carboxylate → HCID 18328903, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(formyl)piperidine (7.14 g) and 1-(2-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine dihydrochloride (8.38 g) in methanol/acetic acid (99:1) (150 ml) was added sodium cyanoborohydride (6.32 g) portionwise over 30 minutes and the resultant suspension stirred at arnbient temperature for 3 hours. The suspension was quenched by addition of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and the resulting mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography eluting with 5% methanol in dichloromethane to give 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-[1-(2-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)piperazin-4-ylmethyl]piperidine (3.02 g) as a foam.
