Triacetoxyperiodinane → Tert-butyl 4-(3-oxopropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (1.00 g, 4.11 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 mL) was cooled to 0° C., and added with the Dess-Martin reagent (2.27 g, 5.34 mmol), and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, and then further washed with saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then the solvent was evaporated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain tert-butyl 4-(3-oxopropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.874 g, 88%).
