Reaction Steps

3-Carbamoyl-3-methyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (500 mg, 1.81 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was treated with [bis(trifluoroacetoxyl)iodo]benzene (PIFA) (800 mg, 1.86 mmol) and water (2 mL), the mixture was allowed to stir at 25° C. for 3 hours. LCMS showed starting material consumed, the mixture was heated to 70° C. for 30 min to decompose excess PIFA. The mixture was purified by column chromatography (eluting with 30˜50% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 420 mg (93%) of 3-Amino-3-methyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester. LCMS (Method K, ESI): RT=0.95 min, m+H=249.0.
