Sodium Acetate → Tert-butyl 4-(3-oxopropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of PCC (11.52 g, 53.44 mmol) and sodium acetate (4.38 g, 53.4 mmol) in DCM (60 mL) was added a solution of 3-(N-t-butyloxycarbonylpiperidin-4-yl)propanol (10.00 g, 41.09 mmol) in DCM (20 mL). After 4 hours at room temperature, the mixture was diluted with ether and passed though a short column of fluorisil® using ether as an eluent. The eluate was concentrated in vacuo and placed under vacuum until constant weight was achieved, affording 8.32 g (84%) of the desired aldehyde as a colorless oil; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.76 (t, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 4.05 (bs, 2H), 2.64 (bt, J=11.7 Hz, 2H), 2.45 (dt, J=7.3, 1.5 Hz, 2H), 1.60 (m, 3H), 1.43 (s, 9H, overlapped with m, 2H), 1.08 (dq, J=12.1, 4.0 Hz, 2H).
