Triethylamine → 3-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-(1,1-difluoro-2-methanesulfonyloxy-ethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of an optically-active compound of 3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-(1,1-difluoro-2-hydroxy-ethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (13.6 g) and triethylamine (11.4 ml) in chloroform (136 ml) cooled to 0° C. was added methanesulfonyl chloride (7.8 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 50 minutes. To the mixture was added 5% aqueous potassium bisulfate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The separated organic layer was sequentially washed with 4M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution twice and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution once, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (17.1 g).
