Pyridine → t-Butyl 4-(4-ethoxycarbonylamino-phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

8.84 g (32.0 mmol) of t-butyl 4-(4-aminophenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate were dissolved in 150ml of methylene chloride and treated with 3.82 g (35.2 mmol) of ethyl chloroformate in the presence of 2.78 g (35.2 mmol) of pyridine. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Thereafter, it was washed with water and the organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue (11.3 g) was chromatographed on 95 g of silica gel 60 with ether/n-hexane (4:6). After recrystallization from ether/n-hexane there were obtained 6.15 g of t-butyl 4-(4-ethoxycarbonylamino-phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate. M.p.: 126°-128°.
