Water → 1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-4-(methanesulfonyloxy)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (60.0 g, 0.3 mol, 1.0 eq), methanesulfonyl chloride (37.6 g, 0.33 mol, 1.1 eq), and triethylamine (36.2 g, 0.36 mol, 1.2 eq) in 600 ml of dichloromethane (DCM) was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (300 ml) was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM once. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried, and evaporated to a yellowish solid, 80.5 g, in 97% yield.
