Piperidin-4-ol → 2-(Di-tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-(4-hydroxy-piperidin-1-yl)-propionic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(di-tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-acrylic acid methyl ester (1.0 g, 3.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was added piperidin-4-ol (0.33 g, 1.1 equiv). A gentle stream of nitrogen was placed over the reaction while it stirred overnight. The crude oil which resulted was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, then brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give 1.38 g (quant.) as an oil which was used without purification. Mass spec.: 403.42 (MH)+.
