Ethyl 4-amino-1-piperidinecarboxylate → Ethyl 4-[(4-methoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-4-methoxy-pyrimidine (3.64 g, 25.21 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available) and 4-amino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (4.34 g, 25.21 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available) in anhydrous NMP (32 mL) was heated by microwave irradiation to 200° C. for 15 min. The organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL) from a solution of 1 M NaOH (100 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and the product purified with column chromatography on silica eluting with heptane/ethyl acetate (1:1) providing 2.93 g (42%) of the title compound. MS (ISP): 281.3 [M+H]+.
