Ammonia → tert-Butyl 4-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)-4-carbamoylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-{[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (2.09 g, 5.52 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) were added N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.27 g, 6.63 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (0.37 g, 2.76 mmol) and triethylamine (0.92 mL, 6.63 mmol), followed by ammonia (0.5 M in dioxane; 13.3 mL, 6.63 mmol). After 18 h, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (100% dichloromethane→94% dichloromethane/methanol) to give the title compound (0.43 g). MS 378.2 (M+1).
