Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (580 mg, 2.64 mmol) was added to a suspension of NaH (106 mg, 2.64 mmol) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. After 15 min. under stirring at the same temperature, N-Boc-4-piperidone (500 mg, 2.51 mmol) dissolved in DMF (5 mL) was added. Stirring was continued and, after 2 h at r.t., the reaction mixture was quenched with water and EtOAc. The combined extracts were washed, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc—Petroleum Ether 9:1) affording the title product (380 mg).
