Triethylamine → Tert-butyl 3-(methylcarbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Amine preparation: To a solution of 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-piperidine-carboxylic acid (0.50 g) in DMF (3 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (0.70 g). The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h and then triethylamine (0.60 mL) followed by methylamine hydrochloride (0.29 g) was added. After stirring for 24 h the reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography to yield 3-methylcarbamoyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.41 g). Treatment of this compound with HCl in DCM/MeOH yielded the desired amine, which was isolated as the hydrochloride salt.
