Triethylamine → N-(1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-ylmethyl)trifluoroacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.07 g (23.7 mM) of tert-butyl 4-aminomethylpiperidine-1-carboxylate and 5.0 ml (35.9 mM) of triethylamine in acetonitrile (40 ml) was added 5.6 ml (47.1 mM) of ethyl trifluoroacetate at room temperature and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure to provide the title compound as light-yellow solid (6.40 g, 87%).
