Procedure

To a solution of 4-piperidone monohydrate hydrochloride (3.07 g, 20.0 mmol) in water (12 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added a cooled solution (also at 0° C.) of potassium carbonate (6.97 g, 50.4 mmol) in water (40 mL). Methyl chloroformate (2.80 g, 29.6 mmol) was added, and the mixture was allowed to stir for 2 h, still at 0° C. Then, the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×40 mL), and the extract was dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The obtained residue was chromatographed (silica gel, dichloromethane to 95:5 dichloromethane/methanol) to give the title compound (2.96 g, 94%) as a viscous clear liquid:
