Sodium Carbonate → tert-Butyl 4-(5-nitropyridine-2-ylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve N-Boc-4-aminopiperidine (0.9 g, 4.8 mmol) in dry ethanol and add solid sodium carbonate (0.8 g, 7.9 mmol) at 0° C., followed by 2-chloro-5-nitro-pyridine (0.6 g, 3.9 mmol). Stir the solution at room temperature overnight, then heat the solution at 9° C. for 6 hours. Stir at room temperature overnight. Evaporate the solvent under reduced pressure and partition the crude mixture between EtOH and water. Extract with EtOAc and wash the organic layer with saturated aq. sodium chloride solution. Combine organic layers and dry over MgSO4. Filter and evaporate the solvent in order to obtain 4-(5-Nitro-pyridin-2-ylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
