Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-formylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (10.0 g, 46.9 mmol) and KOH (1.3 g, 23.5 mmol) in EtOH (200 mL) was added but-3-en-2-one (3.9 g, 56.3 mmol), the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 16 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/PE (v/v)=1/4) to give the product as brown oil (5.2 g, 41.8%).
