Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-hex-2-enyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.0 g, 5.24 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added to a mixture of potassium carbonate (0.54 g, 3.93 mmol) and 4-methoxy-α-toluenethiol (1.17 g, 10.48 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) under nitrogen. The mixture was refluxed for 5 h and allowed to cool to room temperature. The reaction mixture was then poured into H2O and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined and washed with water. The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3.76 g of crude material. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane, 1:10) to give 4-[2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-(4-methoxy-benzylsulfanyl)-5-methyl-hexyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.77 g, 63%).
