Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After dissolving 4-fluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)piperidinecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4.26 g, 18.3 mmol) in THF (183 mL), the solution was cooled to 0° C. Triphenylphosphine (7.19 g, 27.4 mmol) and DIAD (diisopropyl azodicarboxylate) (5.39 mL, 27.4 mmol) were then added to the solution. After stirring for 20 minutes, phthalimide (4.03 g, 27.4 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the crude product was crudely purified by silica gel column chromatography (20% AcOEt/hexane) to obtain 4-[(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)methyl]-4-fluoropiperidinecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
