N,O-Dimethylhydroxylamine → (3RS,4SR)-1-Benzyl-3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL round bottom flask with a magnetic stirrer 900 mg (2.72 mmol) (3RS,4SR)-1-benzyl-3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid and 1.14 g (3 mmol) HATU was dissolved in 20 mL dry DMF. The greenish solution was stirred for 15 min, 320 mg (3.28 mmol) N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochlorideowed and 2.32 mL DIPEA was added. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature and concentrated under high vacuum. The green viscous oil was taken up in 60 mL ethyl acetate and 75 mL 5% aqueous NaHCO3-solution. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted once with 60 mL ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with 75 mL 1% AcOH/water-solution and once with 100 ml brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered off and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified over silica eluting with a gradient formed from ethyl acetate/heptane to yield after evaporation of the product containing fractions 990 mg (97%) of the title compound as colorless viscous oil. MS (m/e): 373.3 [(M+H)+].
