Sodium Bicarbonate → (+/-)-cis-4-Azidomethyl-3-fluoro-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (±)-trans-4-azidomethyl-3-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.35 mmol, 350 mg) in dichloromethane (6 mL) was added bis-(2-methoxyethy)aminosulfur trifluoride (1.62 mmol, 358 mg) at −40° C. After stirring the reaction at −40° C. for 3 h, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (6 mL) was added, and the product was extracted with dichloromethane (6 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified using hexane:ethyl acetate to provide (±)-cis-4-azidomethyl-3-fluoro-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
