Carbon tetrabromide → tert-Butyl 3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of CBr4 (1.63 g, 4.92 mmol) and PPh3 (1.29 g, 4.92 mmol 9 in DCM (25 ml) was added 1 g (4.69 mmol) 3-Formyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (commercially available) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at R.T for 24 h and the solvent was removed. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (cyclohexane/AcOEt 90/10) to afford 0.15 g (9%) of 3-(2,2-Dibromo-vinyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a colorless oil.
