Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To (R)-Piperidine-2-carboxylic acid (5.00 g, 38.73) in 150 ml of dry methanol at 0° C. was added thionyl chloride (5.2 ml, 71.28 mmol) under Ar. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, then at RT overnight, evaporated and crystallized with EtOH/hexane to afford 4.96 g (92%) of the title product. 1H NMR (CD3OD) 3.67 (s, 3H), 3.57 (m, 1H), 2.79 (m, 1H), 2.69 (m, 1H), 2.01 (m, 1H), 1.98 (m, 1H), 1.73 (m, 1H), 1.55-1.45 (m, 4H); 13C NMR 171.22, 62.50, 51.35, 45.35, 29.52, 28.41, 23.82; MS m/z+144.0 (M+H).
