Dimethylformamide → tert-Butyl ethyl(piperidin-4-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 476 mg (1.42 mmol) of 1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-(t-butoxycarbonylamino)piperidine from Step B and 0.24 mL (2.8 mmol) of ethyl iodide in 10 mnL of DMF was added 85 mg (2.1 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride in mineral oil. The reaction was stirred for 16 h and was then poured into water and extracted three times with ether. The organic layers were each washed with a portion of water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, combined and concentrated. The residue was purified by FC eluting with 15% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford 409 mg of title compound.
