Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl 4-{[5-chloro-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylphenyl]amino}piperidine-1-carboxylate (2.40 g, 6.28 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) and acetic acid (1.8 mL) was added acetaldehyde (830 ul, 12.6 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (4.00 g, 18.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 18 hours. Then aq. NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layer was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (SiO2 heptane/ethylacetate=10/1) to give the titled compound as oil (2.40 g, 89% yield). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δppm; 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.21 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 4.04 (m, 2H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.02 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.88 (m, 1H), 2.68 (m, 2H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 1.71 (m, 2H), 1.48-1.61 (m, 2H), 1.45 (s, 9H), 0.83-0.89 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H); MS (ES) [M+Na] 433.0.
