Methyl iodide → HCID 67268388, compound

Temperature

-70 °C

4-Benzyl 3-methyl morpholine-3,4-dicarboxylate (13.98 g, 50.1 mmol) and methyl iodide (5.70 ml, 91 mmol) was dissolved in THF (100 ml). The solution was cooled to −70° C. A solution of NaHMDS in THF (1 M, 91 ml, 91 mmol) was added via syringe over 2 minutes. The reaction solution was stirred for 5 hours at −40 to −70° C. and then was quenched with MeOH (5 ml) and HOAc (3.5 g). The reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was then partitioned between EtOAc (400 ml) and water (150 ml). The organic phase was separated. The aqueous phase (pH about 7) was extracted with EtOAc (100 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with water (100 ml). The organic solution was then concentrated to give an oil. The residue was purified by silica gel column (220 g silica gel, Hexane/EtOAc 5:1) to afford 11.6 g of 4-benzyl 3-methyl 3-methylmorpholine-3,4-dicarboxylate as an oil (79% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ=1.58 (s, 3H), 3.23-3.78 (m, 9H), 4.99 (m, 2H), 7.17-7.27 (m, 5H)
