Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-piperidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester (3.0 g in a mixture of 26 mL dry tetrahydrofuran and 26 mL dry diethyl ether) at -10° C. was added 1.91 mL of triethylamine followed by the dropwise addition of 1.78 mL isobutyl chloroformate. The reaction was stirred at -10° C. for 30 minutes then warmed to 0° C. Over the next hour, 26 mL of a solution of diazomethane in diethyl ether was added (prepared from: 8.0 g Diazald® in 70 mL diethyl ether; 4 g potassium hydroxide; 20 mL 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol; 6 mL water and 12 mL diethyl ether using a mini Diazald Kit) and the mixture allowed to stir at room temperature for an additional 2 hours. At this time the reaction was quenched by the addition of 3 mL acetic acid at 0° C. This was then diluted with 100 mL water and 100 mL diethyl ether, the layers separated and the aqueous portion extracted with (2×75 mL) diethyl ether. The combined organics were washed with water (75 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate (2×75 mL) and brine (75 mL) then dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent in vacuo and purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate, 8:2) gave the title compound, 2.99 g.
