6-(2-methylpropyl)piperidine-2,4-dione → HCID 66732004, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred ice cooled suspension of LAH (16.1 g, 0.414 mol) in THF (100 mL), a solution of 6-isobutyl-piperidine-2,4-dione (14.0 g, 0.083 mol) in THF (100 mL) was added dropwise under N2. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred under N2 for 48 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and quenched with water (16.1 mL), 1 N NaOH (16.1 mL) and water (16.1 mL). The reaction mixture was filtered and the solid was washed with hot THF (100 mL). The filtrate was concentrated to yield 2-isobutyl-piperidin-4-ol as a solid (9 g, crude).
