Hexane → tert-Butyl 3-ethynylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(2,2-Dibromo-vinyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.15 g, 0.42 mmol) in THF (1 ml) wad added at −78° C., 0.5 ml of n-BuLi 2.5 M in hexane (1.23 mmol). After 1 h at −78° C., the reaction mixture was quenched with 1 ml of water and the aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt. The combined organic phase was dried over K2CO3, filtered and evaporated to give 80 mg (93%) of 3-Ethynyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid.
