Tetrahydrofuran → Tert-butyl 4-cyano-4-(2-((methylsulfonyl)oxy)ethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10 mL of a tetrahydrofuran solution containing 1.0 g of tert-butyl 4-cyano-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, 0.77 mL of triethylamine was added at room temperature, thereto was added 0.37 mL of methane sulfonyl chloride under cooling with ice, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours and 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was added with an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain 1.3 g of a brown oily substance, tert-butyl 4-cyano-4-(2-((methylsulfonyl)oxy)ethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate.
