Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(toluene-4-sulfonyloxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (8.1 g, 22.8 mmol), (S)-(+)-2-methylpyrrolidine (2.33 g, 27.36 mmol), K2CO3 (6.93 g, 50.16 mmol) in acetonitrile (76 mL) was heated to 80° C. for 20 h and then added additional (S)-(+)-2-methylpyrrolidine (834 mg, 9.79 mmol), and the temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained at 80° C. for 20 h. The heating was removed and the solution was concentrated to provide a residue which was taken up with H2O (100 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL). The organic layers were dried over K2CO3, filtered and concentrated to provide a crude oil which was purified by flash column chromatography (0 to 5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to provide 2.43 g (40% yield) of the title compound as a solid.
