Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium cyanate (31 mg, 0.384 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 4-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.384 mmol) in water (2 mL). Acetic acid was then added to adjust pH of reaction to 4-5 and the mixture was heated at 40° C. After 16 h, the reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and purified by reverse phase HPLC (C-18, 95% water/acetonitrile→5% water/acetonitrile with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) to give the title compound (33 mg).
