Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (340 mL, 2.4 mmol) was added to a solution of ethyl 5-(cyclohexylmethyl)piperidine-3-carboxylate (155 mg, 0.60 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (75 mL, 0.90 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (6 mL) cooled to 0° C. The reaction was maintained at this temperature for 15 min at which point the whole was allowed to warm to RT and stir for an additional 3 h. The reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and poured into HCl (1 N, 20 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were sequentially washed with H2O (10 mL) and brine before being dried over Na2SO4. Concentration under reduced pressure provided the title compound. MS m/z: 332.1 (M+1).
