Potassium Iodide → Ethyl 4-(dibenzylamino)-3-methoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of racemic ethyl 4-amino-3-methoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (1 part by mole) in DMF were added benzyl bromide (about 2.2 part by mole), potassium carbonate (about 2.4 part by mole) and potassium iodide (about 0.2 part by mole) respectively. The reaction was heated to about 80° C. (in the specification, delta, or “Δ,” refers to heat). After about 6 hours, the reaction was slowly diluted with water (about 12 parts by volume) and extracted with, for example, ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and then dried over anhyh. Na2SO4. Subsequent filtration and concentration of the solvent provided the 1 as the yellow-orange oil (1 part by mole).
