Potassium Carbonate → Tert-butyl 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-oxoethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.596 g, 2.62 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added with potassium carbonate (0.724 g, 5.24 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. The reaction mixture was added with dimethyl (1-diazo-2-oxopropyl)phosphonate (0.500 g, 2.62 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for additional 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and then added with water, and the mixture was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain tert-butyl 4-(prop-2-ynyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.393 g, 67%).
