Hydrochloric Acid → 1-acetyl-N-methoxy-N-methylpiperidine-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-acetylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid (58.50 g, 342 mmol) in dichloromethane (700 mL) was added di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methanone (58.18 g, 359 mmol). After the addition the mixture was agitated for two hours and N-methoxymethanamine hydrochloride (35.00 g, 359 mmol) was added at once. The mixture was allowed to agitate overnight at ambient temperature and 4M HCl in dioxane (75 mL) was added slowly. The slurry was agitated for 30 minutes and then filtered. Filtrate was washed twice with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried and concentrated to give the title compound (59.10 g, 80.72% yield).
