Tetrahydrofuran → tert-Butyl cis(+/-)-4-{benzyl[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-3-methoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

THF (16 mL) and water (4 mL) were added to tert-butyl cis(±)-4-benzylamino-3-methoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate obtained in Example (259a) (1.00 g, 3.1 mmol). While the mixture was stirred, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (4 mL) and benzyl chloroformate (0.96 g, 5.6 mmol) were added at room temperature, followed by stirring overnight. The reaction solution was diluted with water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/9, 1/1) to obtain 0.66 g of the title compound as a colorless oily substance (58%).
