Ammonium Acetate → HCID 58116948, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of isoxazol-5-ylacetonitrile from Example 48A (3.00 g, 27.8 mmol), tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (5.53 g, 27.8 mmol) and ammonium acetate (4.28 g, 55.5 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was heated for 8 h to reflux. Subsequently, the mixture was extracted with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 2:1) to yield an oil, which precipitated upon treatment with petroleum ether/tert-butyl methyl ether to yield 4.38 g (54.6%) of the title compound as yellowish crystals.
