Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylphosphine (0.657 g, 2.50 mmol) is added to a stirred solution of 4-(3-azido-propyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.560 g, 2.09 mmol) in THF (2 mL)/CH3CN (5 mL)/H2O (1 mL) and the mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. After concentration and subsequent chromatography purification on silica gel, eluting with 2 M NH3/MeOH in dichloromethane 0-15%, the title compound is obtained as a clear oil (0.420 g, 83% yield).
