Triethylamine → (R)-tert-butyl 3-(N-methoxy-N-methylcarbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid (233 g, 1.2 mol) in THF (1.2 L) was added carbonyldiimidazole (230 g, 1.42 mol). The mixture was stirred for 1 h under ice-water bath. A suspension of triethylamine (207 mL, 1.41 mol) and N, O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (138 g, 1.42 mol) in THF (900 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. TLC showed the reaction was complete. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1.2 L) and washed successively with 0.5 N hydrochloride solution, saturated solution of sodium carbonate and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give crude compound (R)-tert-butyl 3-(methoxy(methyl)carbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (250 g, 91%), which was used in the next step directly without purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 4.05-4.19 (m, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 3.17 (s, 3H), 2.75-2.85 (m, 2H), 2.65 (t, 1H), 1.90 (d, 1H), 1.60-1.78 (m, 2H), 1.44 (s, 9H).
