Ethanol → Tert-butyl 3-fluoro-4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 6.5 mL of an ethanol solution containing 0.49 g of tert-butyl 3-fluoro-4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate, 94 mg of sodium borohydride was added under cooling with ice, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was added with water 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 0.42 g of a colorless oily substance, tert-butyl 3-fluoro-4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate.
