Participants

Reaction Steps

Piperidin-4-ol (7.8 g) and dihydro-2H-pyran-4(3H)-one (5.0 g) were dissolved in titanium(IV) isopropoxide (30 mL) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. Methanol (40 mL) was added and the reaction was cooled to 0° C. Then NaBH4 (3.8 g) was added in portions over one hour. After 2 hours 1N aqueous NaOH was added, followed by ethyl acetate addition. After filtration though celite the layers were separated, the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4. The crude was purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane having 5-10% 7N NH3 in methanol.
