Piperidine → Piperidine, 1-(isocyanoacetyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

48.7 g (570 mmol) of dry piperidine were added to 25.8 g (228 mmol) of ethyl isocyanoacetate in 200 ml of dry methanol, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. It was subsequently evaporated to dryness and crystallized from ether/isopropanol to give 33 g (=95% of theory) of pure N-isocyanoacetylpiperidine as beige solid.
