Water → 1-[(Tert-butoxycarbonyl)oxy]piperidin-4-yl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)oxy]piperidin-4-ol (10.0 g, 49.7 mmol) in THF (200 mL), were added TEA (20.7 mL, 149 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (7.69 mL, 99.4 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 2.5 h at the same temperature. To the mixture was added EtOAc (100 mL) and water (100 mL) and then organic layer has been separated. The aqueous layer has been extracted with EtOAc (50 mL) and the combined organic layer was washed with brine (30 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then insoluble materials were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane=20/80→50/50). Concentration of appropriate fractions afforded crude product, which was washed with a 1:1 mixture of diethyl ether and hexane (50 mL) to give title compound (12.9 g, 92%) as a pale yellow solid.
