4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-4-((p-toluenesulfonyloxy)methyl)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-hydroxymethylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (prepared by referring to Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 11-217377, 12.12 g, 56.30 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (26 ml), and the solution was added with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (10.73 g, 56.30 mmol) and triethylamine (8.63 mmol, 61.9 mmol) at room temperature, and then stirred at the same temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml) and washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. Insoluble solids were removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from hexane (100 ml) to obtain the title compound as colorless solid (14.13 g, yield: 85%).
