Acetic Acid → HCID 178472507, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-(4-tert-Butyl-cyclohexyloxy)-naphthalene-2-carbaldehyde (500 mg, 2 mmol) was combined with (R)-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.51 g, 3.2 mmol) in methanol (10 mL, 200 mmol) and acetic acid (9.2 μL, 0.16 mmol). Sodium cyanoborohydride (0.25 g, 4.0 mmol) was then added and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched with water and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. Organics were combined and dried over MgSO4. Solids were removed via filtration and 10 g of silica gel was added. All solvent was then removed and the resulting silica gel was loaded onto a 24 g column and the product was eluted using a gradient of 0-60% ethyl acetate/hexanes and then dried under vacuum to give the title compound as a colorless oil. EDI-MS: 438.1 (M+H)+.
