Sodium periodate → 1-Tert-butyl 4-methyl 4-(2-oxopropyl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-tert-butyl 4-methyl 4-(2-methylallyl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate (2.2 g, 7.4 mmol) in dioxane/water (60 mL, 1/1) under nitrogen was added osmium tetroxide (0.038 g, 0.15 mmol) and sodium periodate (2.88 g, 13.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane (50 mL), and washed with 20% Na2S2O3 (20 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrates were concentrated and the residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with 0-60% ethyl acetate/hexane to afford 1-tert-butyl 4-methyl 4-(2-oxopropyl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate. LC-MS (IE, m/z): 322.26 (M+23)+.
