Sulfuric Acid → (2S)-5-[(benzyloxy)amino]-2-cyanopiperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound of Formula (IX) was reacted with sulphuric acid and sodium triacetoxy borohydride, in presence of suitable solvent such as ethyl acetate and at temperature below −5° C., to provide (2S)-5-[(benzyloxy)amino]-2-cyanopiperidine (X). The compound of Formula (X) was purified by forming oxalate salt. The compound of Formula (X) was reacted with oxalic acid in a mixture of ethylacetate and acetone to provide (2S)-5-[(benzyloxy)amino]-2-cyanopiperidine ethanedioate (1:1) (XI), which was further treated with sodium hydrogen carbonate to obtain purified (2S)-5-[(benzyloxy)amino]-2-cyanopiperidine (XII). The racemic compound (XI) was treated with methanol to obtain pure (2S,5R)-5-[(benzyloxy)amino]-2-cyanopiperidine ethanedioate.
