Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-1-N-Boc-piperidine (290 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added to a solution of ethyl 3-formylpyridin-2-ylcarbamate (240 mg, 1.2 mmol) in methanol (10 mL). Mixture was warmed to 60° C. and held for 1.5 hours. Mixture was cooled to room temperature. Sodium borohydride (62 mg, 1.6 mmol) was added to the mixture. Reaction stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Toluene (20 mL) was added to the mixture followed by acetic acid (1.0 mL). Mixture was warmed to 110° C. Methanol was driven from the reaction mixture and collected in a Dean-Stark trap. Mixture was held at 110° C. for 5 hours. Mixture was cooled to room temperature and held for 16 hours. Reaction was quenched with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. Mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL). Combined organics were washed successively with water (30 mL) and brine (20 mL). Organic layer was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography afforded the title compound as white solid in 44% yield. MS m/e (M−H)−=311.2.
