Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.37 g (1.60 mmol) of (rac)-3-hydroxymethyl-3-methyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (intermediate 30B) and 0.20 ml (3.20 mmol) of iodomethane in 15 ml of DMF was treated at 0° C. with 0.08 g (1.92 mmol) of NaH (55% in oil). The reaction was stirred for 2 h at 0° C., neutralized with cold aqueous 10% KHSO4 and extracted with Et2O (3×). The organic phases were washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3, aqueous 10% NaCl, dried over Na2SO4 evaporated and purified by flash silica gel column (n-heptane/EtOAc 95:5) to yield 0.25 g (64%) of the title compound as colorless liquid. MS: 244.1 (MH+).
