Reaction Steps

2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxine-6-carbaldehyde (153 mg, 0.93 mmol, 1.0 eq) is added at room temperature to a stirred solution of 4-methylamino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg, 0.93 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 1,2-dichloroethane (8 mL) and methanol (2 mL), followed by acetic acid (61 μL, 1.07 mmol, 1.15 eq) and sodium cyanoborohydride (76 mg, 1.21 mmol, 1.3 eq). After 15 hours stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture is extracted with dichloromethane (3×20 mL) and a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution (20 mL). The combined organic layers are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a residue that is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluent: cyclohexane:ethyl acetate, 3:1 to 1:3, v/v) to afford 4-[(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-6-ylmethyl)-methyl-amino]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as an off-white oil (195 mg, 55% yield).
