4-Methylmorpholine → 1-Benzyl 4-methyl piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl chloroformate (11.0 mL, 0.0768 mol) was added into a solution of methyl piperidine-4-carboxylate (10.0 g, 0.0698 mol) and 4-methylmorpholine (15.4 mL, 0.140 mol) in acetonitrile (20.0 mL). After 30 min, the mixture was diluted with NaHCO3 (7.5%), extracted with ethyl acetate (AcOEt) (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated to afford 1-benzyl 4-methyl piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate (12 gram) which was directly used in next step without further purification.
