Reaction Steps

A dark brown solution of (5-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-hydrazine (549 mg, 4.32 mmol) and N-Boc-4-piperidine acetaldehyde (Aldrich, 982 mg, 4.32 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) was stirred at reflux for 30 min, then cooled to 0° C., diluted with DCM (25 mL) and then (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (1.67 g, 5.18 mmol) was added portionwise over 1 min. The purple solution was stirred at RT for 30 min, then aqueous NaOH (1M, 20 mL) was added and the mixture shaken. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (2×20 mL), then the combined organics passed through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo to leave an orange solid. FCC, using 3% MeOH in DCM, gave the title compound as a pale orange solid (1.53 g, 90%). LCMS (Method 3): Rt 3.15, m/z 235 [M-CO2C4H9+H+].
