Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine (5.0 g) in dimethylformamide (DMF) (25 ml) was portionwise added sodium hydride (60% in oil) (1.29 g) with stirring under ice-cooling. The mixture was successively stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes, stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour and cooled with an ice bath. To the reaction mixture was added 1,5-dibromopentane (6.72 ml), and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water (100 ml) and extracted twice with a mixture of ethyl acetate (80 ml) and n-hexane (30 ml). The extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (200 ml) eluting with a mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate (5:1 v/v). The fractions containing the desired compound were collected and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-(5-bromopentyloxy)-1-N-t-butyloxycarbonylpiperidine (2.44 g).
