Water → tert-butyl (3R,4R)-4-{[(4-bromophenyl)carbonyl](methyl)amino}-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (1.16 g) obtained in step 1 in DMF (22 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 175 mg) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. Then, methyl iodide (681 μL) was added, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the resultant product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 10→90% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give tert-butyl (3R,4R)-4-{[(4-bromophenyl)carbonyl](methyl)amino}-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (1.09 g, 92%) as a white powder.
