Hydrochloric Acid → Benzyl (piperidin-4-ylmethyl)carbamate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(benzyloxycarbonylamino-methyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (10.2 g, 29.3 mmol) in EtOAc (100 mL) was cooled on an ice-bath and 4 M hydrogen chloride in EtOAc (100 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hr and concentrated. The residue was suspended in hexane (30 mL) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with hexane, and dried under reduced pressure to give piperidin-4-ylmethyl-carbamic acid benzyl ester hydrochloride (7.24 g, 87%) as a white solid.
