Reaction Steps

A three neck 500-mL flask equipped with a dropping funnel was charged with of anhydrous CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and oxalyl chloride (2.64 g, 20.7 mmol, 1.1 equiv). The solution was cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen. A solution of DMSO (2.93 g, 37.6 mmol, 2.0 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added dropwise to the oxalyl chloride over a 15 minute period, and the resulting solution stirred for 30 min at −78° C. A solution of 1-(2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanesulfonyl)-3-hydroxymethylpiperidine (5.25 g, 18.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was added dropwise over a 30 min period, and the resulting mixture stirred for 30 min at −78° C. Triethylamine (9.51 g, 94.4 mmol, 5.0 equiv) was added dropwise to the mixture over a 30 min period. The resulting white slurry was allowed to warm to 0° C. and stir for 30 min. Analysis of the mixture by LC-MS showed consumption of the alcohol. Water (200 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The aldehyde was purified by flash chromatography on 120 g of silica, eluting with 0 to 50% EtOAc in hexanes. Fractions containing the desired aldehyde were visualized by staining with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine on silica gel. Removal of the solvent afforded 1-(2-trimethylsilyl(ethanesulfonyl))piperidine-3-carbaldehyde (3.81 g, 73%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ−0.15 (s, 9H), 0.96 (m, 2H), 1.5-1.77 (m, 4H), 1.95 (M, 1H), 2.54 (m, 1H), 2.82 (m, 2H), 2.95 (m, 1H), 3.17 (d of d, 1H), 3.44 (m, 1H), 3.72 (m, 1H), 9.64 (s, 1H).
