Allyl bromide → Tert-butyl 4-allyl-4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (10 g, 50.2 mmol), allyl bromide (10.8 mL, 124 mmol) in THF (10 mL), and saturated ammonium chloride solution (50 mL) was added Zn dust (6.5 g, 100 mmol) portionwise below 10° C. After addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred overnight, when TLC indicated consumption of s.m. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 mL) and acidified with several drops of 10% H2SO4 to pH=6. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×200 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with a saturated solution of NaHCO3, brine and evaporated, to give the crude product which was purified by chromatography to give title compound 11B as colorless oil.
