Procedure

To a −78° C. solution of 1-benzyl-3-methyl-piperidin-4-one (4.06 g, 20 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL) was added lithium hexamethyldisilazide (21 mL, 21 mmol of a 1.0 M solution THF). After being stirred at −78° C. for 30 min, a solution of iodomethane (1.31 mL, 21 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added into the reaction mixture. The resultant solution was stirred at 25° C. for 2 h and quenched with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic extracts were combined, washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The solution was filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) to provide 1.37 g (31.5% yield) of 1-benzyl-3,5-dimethyl-piperidin-4-one.
