Chlorotrimethylsilane → tert-Butyl 4-((trimethylsilyl)oxy)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidone (10.13 g, 50.8 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (20 mL) under argon was added chlorotrimethylsilane (7.74 mL, 61.0 mmol), then anhydrous triethylamine (17.0 mL, 122 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 16 h under argon. The mixture was partitioned between hexane (60 mL) and cold saturated NaHCO3 solution (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with more cold saturated NaHCO3 solution (2×30 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 10% EtOAc/petroleum ether) to give 11.84 g (86%) of the title compound as a colourless oil. δH (250 MHz, CDCl3) 0.20 (9H, s), 1.47 (9H, s), 2.11 (2H, m), 3.52 (2H, t, J=5.8 Hz), 3.87 (2H, m), 4.80 (1H, m).
