Acetic Acid → 1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of isonipecotamide (500 mg, 3.90 mmol) in a mixture of 5% aqueous sodium carbonate (7 ml) and 1,4-dioxane (3 ml) was added Boc-anhydride (1.30 ml, 5.85 mmol) and stirred for 5 h at room temperature. The pH was adjusted to 5-6 with acetic acid and volatiles were evaporated under vacuo. The residue was triturated with n-pentane and diethyl ether to yield 740 mg (82.4%) of tert-butyl 4-carbamoylpiperidine-1-carboxylate as a white solid.
