Ammonium Acetate → HCID 131730337, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium cyanoborohydride (344 mg, 5.48 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 3-(methylthio)-4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (Intermediate 183, 1.07 g, 4.40 mmol), ammonium acetate (3.24 g, 42 mmol) and methanol (15 ml). The resultant mixture was stirred for 4 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of 1N HCl (3 ml). Aqueous sodium bicarbonate (saturated, 50 ml) was added slowly to the reaction mixture followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (3×75 ml). The combined organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the crude amine
