Trifluoroacetic acid → Ethyl (2S,5R)-5-((benzyloxy)amino)piperidine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (600 mL) was added to a solution of (2S,5R)-1-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-((benzyloxy)amino)piperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (263 g, 0.7 mol) in DCM (600 mL) at 20° C. The mixture was stiffed at rt overnight and then concentrated in vacuum. The crude product was adjusted to pH 10 with sat. NaHCO3 solution, and then extracted with DCM three times. The combined organic layer was concentrated in vacuum and purified by silica gel column chromatography (20:1 DCM/MeOH) to afford (2S,5R)-ethyl 5-((benzyloxy)amino)piperidine-2-carboxylate (184.9 g, 95%) as a yellow oil.
