Triethylamine → Benzyl 4-(4-methyl-2-oxotetrahydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)piperidin-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl 4-isocyanatopiperidin-1-carboxylate (0.26 g) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was added to a solution of 4-bromobutan-2-amine hydrobromide (0.17 g) and triethylamine (0.10 g) in acetonitrile (10 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature for one hour. Potassium tert-butoxide (0.29 g) and THF (20 mL) were added thereto, and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated saline solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate to ethyl acetate/methanol=10/1) to obtain the title compound (0.15 g, 45%) as a light brown solid.
