Reaction Steps

EDCI (119 mg, 0.62 mmol) and DMSO (59 μL, 0.83 mmol) were added sequentially to a solution of 7-((R)-2-hydroxymethyl-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-heptanoic acid methyl ester (56 mg, 0.21 mmol) in benzene (2.0 mL) at rt. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and pyridinium trifluoroacetate (44 mg, 0.23 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to rt and then was stirred at rt for 3 h. The solution was decanted from the oily residue and the residue was washed with benzene (3×2 mL). The combined benzene phases were concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 7-((R)-2-formyl-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-heptanoic acid methyl ester that was used without further purification.
