Diazomethane diethylether → tert-butyl (1R*,4S*,6R*)-4-({[(4-nitrophenyl)carbonyl]oxy}methyl)-3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-({[(4-nitrophenyl)carbonyl]oxy}methyl)-3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (10.0 g) produced above was dissolved in 5% diazomethane/diethyl ether (1.4 L), palladium acetate (689 mg) was added at 10° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 40 min. The reaction mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to give a mixture of tert-butyl 2-({[(4-nitrophenyl)carbonyl]oxy}methyl)-3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate and the title compound. The obtained mixture was subjected to 3 repeats of a similar reaction operation to give the title compound (8.4 g).
