Methyl chloroformate → Dimethyl 2-(2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-(2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (8.2 g, 24.28 mmol) and DIPEA (10.60 mL, 60.69 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL). Methyl carbonochloridate (2.257 mL, 29.13 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 1 h. DCM (100 mL) was added. The organic phase was washed twice with 1 M HCl and water, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to yield dimethyl 2-(2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate (8.9 g, quant.).
