Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-Methyl-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid amide hydrochloride (740 mg, 4.1 mmol) in a cosolvent of 1,4-dioxane and water (12 mL, v:v=5:1) was added sodium carbonate (1.6 g, 15 mmol). The mixture was cooled to 0° C., benzyl chloroformate (900 mg, 0.53 mmol) was added, and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 h. LCMS showed starting material was consumed. The volatile components were removed, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, purified by column chromatography (eluting with 10% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 600 mg (53%) of 3-Carbamoyl-3-methyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester. LCMS (Method K, ESI): RT=1.18 min, m+Na=298.8; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.32-7.23 (m, 5H), 5.07-5.03 (m, 2H), 4.30-4.10 (m, 1H), 4.10-3.90 (m, 1H), 3.10-2.40 (m, 2H), 1.65-1.75 (m, 2H), 1.60-1.30 (m, 2H), 1.25-1.15 (m, 1H), 1.09 (s, 3H).
