Sodium borohydride → Diethyl 2-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl)malonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To IMS (200 mL) at 0° C., NaBH4 (1.87 g, 0.047 mol) and a solution of 2-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-ylidene)malonic acid diethyl ester (17 g, 0.050 mol) in IMS (200 mL) were added. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for 1 h, then quenched with water and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was then partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was separated and washed with brine, then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (14.6 g, 85%). LCMS (Method H): RT=3.90 min, [M+Na]+ 366.
