Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-methoxybenzoate → HCID 68509225, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromomethyl-4-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.28 g, 4.94 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in methanol (9 mL) and triethylamine (0.83 mL) was added 4-amino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.04 g, 5.19 mmol, 1.05 equiv; commercially available) and the reaction stirred at rt overnight. The reaction mixture was poured on crashed ice/diluted HCl, extracted with ethyl acetate, the combined organic phases washed with a sat. solution of NaHCO3 and water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified with silica column chromatography eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (3:7) yielding 0.84 g (49%) of the title compound as white crystals. MS (ISP): 347.3 [M+H]+.
