1,6-Dioxaspiro[2.5]octane → Benzyl({1-[(4-hydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl]piperidin-4-yl}methyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzyl(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)carbamate (7.77 g, 31.3 mmol, Bose, D. Subhas et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1990, 31, 6903) and 1,6-dioxaspiro[2.5]octane (4.29 g, 37.6 mmol, Satyamurthy, Nagichettiar et al., Phosphorus Sulfur, 1984, 19, 113) in methanol (93 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. Then the mixture was refluxed for 8 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on a column of silica gel eluting with methanol/dichloromethane (1:20) to give 5.60 g (49%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
