(S)-(+)-N-(Boc)-2-methylpiperidine → HCID 12176154, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ruthenium(IV) oxide hydrate (0.8 g, 0.006 mol) then a solution of N-BOC-6(S)-methyl-piperidine (4.00 g, 0.020 mol) in ethyl acetate (240 ml) were added to a solution of sodium periodate (21.36 g, 0.100 mole) in water (200 ml) and strongly stirred for 24 hours at room temperature under argon atmosphere. After separation the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml). The combined organic phases were dried with magnesium sulfate and then treated with activated carbon, giving a colorless solution that was evaporated on a rotavapor at 30° C. The residue (3.98 g) was purified by silicagel (125 g) column chromatography with cyclohexane-ethyl acetate (1-1, v/v), furnishing a product (2.50 g, 59% yield) which according to its 1H-NMR spectrum was pure enough for the next reaction step.
