Sodium Bicarbonate → 4-Piperidinone O-methyloxime hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate (2.0 g) and methoxylamine hydrochloride (2.93 g) in THF (66 mL) was treated with sodium bicarbonate (2.95 g) dissolved in water (20 mL). The biphasic mixture was stirred vigorously for 10 minutes, diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 2.12 g of the title compound, which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ ppm 1.49 (s, 9H), 2.34 (t, 2H, J=6.07 Hz), 2.57 (t, 2H, J=6.07 Hz), 3.51 (t, 2H, J=6.07 Hz), 3.56 (t, 2H, J=6.07 Hz), 3.85 (s, 3H).
