Diethylamine → Tert-butyl 4-(diethylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, to a solution of tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (5.0 g, 0.025 mol) and diethylamine (9.1 mL, 0.090 mol) in methanol (40 mL), 10% palladium on carbon (0.50 g) was added at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was agitated under a hydrogen atmosphere at ambient temperature for 16 h. Palladium on carbon was removed by filtration with Celite and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, then the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel(dichloromethane/methanol) to afford tert-butyl 4-(diethylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate as solid (6.1 g, y. 95%).
