HCID 130352,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine

Procedure

Four amine bases were examined (Table 2) in THF or acetonitrile. Of the 4 amines examined, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine gave the best results in both acetonitrile and THF (72%, 65%). Piperidine, which was used in the previous method, gave a low yield.
