Reaction Steps

1-(3-(Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI, 530 mg, 2.76 mmol) and DMSO (0.26 mL, 3.68 mmol) were added sequentially to a solution of 7-(2-hydroxymethyl-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-hept-5-ynoic acid methyl ester (246 mg, 0.92 mmol) in benzene (7.0 mL) at rt. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and pyridinium trifluoroacetate (196 mg, 1.01 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to rt and then was stirred at rt for 2.5 h. The solution was decanted from the oily residue and the residue was washed with benzene (3×5 mL). The combined benzene phases were concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 7-(2-formyl-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-hept-5-ynoic acid methyl ester that was used without further purification.
