Pyridine → (R)-3-(4-Benzyloxy-2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-1-(4-triisopropylsilanyloxy-piperidin-1-yl)-pyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stir a mixture of (R)-3-(4-benzyloxy-2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-1-(4-hydroxy-piperidin-1-yl)-pyrrolidin-2-one (1.23 g, 2.75 mmol) and 15 mL of dichloromethane in an ice bath. Add pyridine (0.52 g, 6.6 mmol) followed by triisopropylsilyltrifluoromethane sulfonate (0.924 g, 3.02 mmol). Remove the cold bath and stir the reaction 12 hours at room temperature. Dilute the reaction with dichloromethane and wash with water. Dry the organic phase over sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate. Purify the residue by silica gel chromatography by eluting with 4:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to give 1.2 g (72%) of the title compound. MS (m/z): 605 (M+).
