Participants

Reaction Steps

8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one (5.10 g; 31.55 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) and treated with benzyl chloroformate (4.29 mL; 5.11 g; 29.98 mmol) DIPEA (16.48 mL; 12.23 g; 94.66 mmol) was added drop-wise (exothermic reaction). The resulting clear solution was allowed to stir at room temperature for 30 min and was subsequently diluted with 100 mL CH2Cl2. The organic phase was washed with 1 N HCl (2×100 mL), dried on Na2SO4 and concentrated to provide the crude product (7.2 g). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.38 (m, 5H), 5.22 (s, 2H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 2.67 (m, 2H), 2.38 (d, J=15.9 Hz, 2H), 2.12 (m, 2H), 1.71 (dd, J=15.0, 7.2 Hz, 2H).
