Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,5R)-benzyl 3-hydroxy-5-methoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (1 eq) in 40 mL of dichloromethane was added triethyl amine (3 eq) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.5 eq) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 hours. The crude mixture was diluted with 150 mL of EtOAc, washed with sat. aq. sodium bicarbonate, brine, then dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc:hexanes=1:1) to give the intermediate, which was dissolved in 15 mL of DMF. Sodium azide (3.3 eq) was added and the resulting suspension was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with 150 mL of EtOAc, washed with water, brine, then dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc:hexanes=1:2) to yield (3S,5R)-benzyl 3-azido-5-methoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (95%). LC/MS (m/z): 263.2 (MH+-28).
