Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-butyl-3-azido-4-[(diphenylmethylene)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate (Intermediate 269, 1.36 g; 3.3 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml's of aqueous THF (5% H2O). PPTS (850 mg; 3.4 mmol; 1.03 eq.) was added in a single portion. The initial cloudy solution became clear within minutes. Upon completion (as determined by LC/MS analysis) the reaction was concentrated and azeotropically dried with acetonitrile. No further purification. (LC/MS: see disappearance of starting material and formation of Ph2C═O. Product is not observable due to lack of chromophore).
