Sodium Bicarbonate → 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl 3-({(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-4-phenylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 238 mg of the crude tert-butyl[(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl][(4-phenylpiperidin-3-yl)methyl]carbamate in 3 mL of THF was added 200 mg of sodium hydrogen carbonate while suspending it in 2 mL of water. The reaction mixture was added 170 mg of methyl 4-[(chlorocarbonyl)oxy]benzoate (Fluka). After stirring at room temperature overnight, the mixed solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine in this order, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl 3-({(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-4-phenylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (353 mg, colorless foamy substance) as a crude product.
