Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-amino-piperidine 1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.44 g, 2.2 mmol) and 4-chlorophenyl acetic acid (0.34 g, 2 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) were added EDCI (0.55 g, 2.8 mmol), HOBT (0.42 g, 2.8 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine (0.6 g, 6 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with dichloromethane and extracted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous layer was back extracted twice with dichloromethane. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Crude product was purified using a short plug of silica gel using ethyl acetate to give the desired product 1H-NMR (CDCL3) δ: 1.15-1.25 (2H, m), 1.40 (9H, s), 1.80-1.90 (2H, m), 2.85 (2H, dd), 3.5 (2H, s), 4.00 (1H, br s), 5.20 (1H, d), 7.15-7.35 (4H, m). ESI-MS m/z: 353 (M+1), UV retention time: 2.47 min.
