Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.0 g (35 mmol) of 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-hydroxypiperidine and 11.4 g (78 mmol) dimethyl succinate in 60 mL of heptane is brought to reflux. 0.05 mL of tetraisopropyl orthotitanate is added and the reaction mixture is refluxed for 16 hours while the evolved methanol is trapped in a Dean-Stark trap. The reaction mixture is then concentrated and the title compound is isolated as a red oil after column chromatography and melts at 76° C.
