1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-4-(methanesulfonyloxy)piperidine → tert-Butyl 3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat a solution of 4-methanesulfonyloxy-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.69 mol, 193 g) in DBU (400 mL) at 80° C. for 16 h. Dilute the reaction mixture with water, extract with diethyl ether, and wash the organic layer with 1 N hydrochloric acid and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. Dry the organic layer over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate to obtain the title compound (116 g, 92%) as a brown oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.46 (s, 9H), 2.12 (br s, 2H), 3.47 (t, 2H), 3.87 (s, 2H), 5.65 (br s, 1H), 5.81 (br s, 1H).
