(R)-tert-butyl 3-(N-methoxy-N-methylcarbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate → (R)-Tert-butyl 3-(3-chlorobenzoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

At −20° C., 3-chlorophenyl magnesium chloride (11 mL, 5.5 mmol, 0.5M THF solution) was added dropwise to a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-(N-methoxy-N-methylcarbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (500 mg, 1.84 mmol) in THF (5 mL). The solution was stirred for 2 h and allowed to warm to rt. The reaction was quenched with satd ammonium chloride solution. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. Evaporation of solvent provided (3R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-(3-chlorobenzoyl)piperidine (0.79 g) as an oil that was used without purification.
