Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → tert-Butyl 4-aminomethyl-4-fluoropiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-[(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)methyl]-4-fluoropiperidinecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester was dissolved in ethanol (200 mL), and then hydrazine monohydrate (10.0 mL) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the precipitated solid was filtered out and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crudely purified product was further purified by silica gel column chromatography (5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to obtain 4-(aminomethyl)-4-fluoropiperidinecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. The compound was identified by 1H-NMR. The yield was 3.23 g (76%).
