Diisopropylethylamine → 1,1-Dimethylethyl ((3R)-1-{[4-(methylamino)-3-nitrophenyl]carbonyl}-3-piperidinyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-tert-butyl piperidin-3-ylcarbamate (1.460 g, 7.29 mmol) (available from, for example, Apollo Scientific Ltd), 4-(methylamino)-3-nitrobenzoic acid (1.43 g, 7.29 mmol) and HATU (2.77 g, 7.29 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (50 mL) was added DIPEA (2.55 mL, 14.58 mmol) and the reaction stirred at r.t. for 16 h. Water (200 mL) and Et2O (200 mL) were added and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with further Et2O (2×200 mL) and the combined organics washed with water (2×50 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford a bright yellow oil. The crude product was purified on silica (100 g) using a gradient of 40% EtOAc/cyclohexane→100% ethyl acetate/cyclohexane. The appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated under vacuum to give the title product as an orange-gold solid (2.76 g, 7.29 mmol, 100% yield).
