Ozone → 3-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-(2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of an optically-active compound of 3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-(1-methylallyl)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester (815 mg) in chloroform/methanol (6.6 ml/6.6 ml) cooled to −78° C. was flowed ozone air for 30 minutes. To the reaction mixture was added sodium borohydride (318 mg) in small batches, and then the mixture was warmed to room temperature over 40 minutes. To the mixture was added saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform twice. The combined organic layer was washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=3/2 to 0/1) to give the titled compound (406 mg).
