Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2-Amino-4-methylphenylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (361 mg, 1.18 mmol) was mixed with tetraethyl carbonate (272 mg, 1.20 eq) in 4 mL of acetic acid. The mixture was stirred at r.t for 4 hrs until all starting material was consumed. The solution was evaporated and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate and concentrated NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was dried and solvents were evaporated. The resulting residue was purified on a Biotage flash column chromatography using ethyl acetate and hexanes (1:2 ratio) to give 4-(2-ethoxy-5-methylbenzoimidazol-1-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (367 mg, 86%) as an oil. ES-MS showed m/e 360 (M++1). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.33 (s, 1H), 7.10 (d, 1H), 6.92 (d, 1H), 4.58 (q, 2H), 4.23-4.33 (m, 3H), 2.83 (t, 2H), 2.41 (s, 3H), 2.25-2.31 (m, 2H), 1.82 (d, 2H), 1.49 (s, 9H), 1.46 (t, 3H).
