Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[2,6-bis(benzyloxy)phenyl]ethanone (8.00 g, 24.067 mmol) (starting compound 1E), tert-butyl 3-formyl-1-piperidinecarboxylate (5.133 g, 24.067 mmol) (starting compound 2B), tert-butylcyanoacetate (3.398 g, 24.067 mmol), and ammonium acetate (5.432 g, 72.202 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (24 mL) was stirred at 100° C. in a sealed tube overnight. After cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The separated organic phase was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with 30 mL of dichloromethane, and MnO2 was added to the mixture, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hrs. The mixture was filtered on Celite®, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue (liquid) was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) to give tert-butyl 2-amino-6-[2,6-bis(benzyloxy)phenyl]-4-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-piperidinyl]nicotinate as a pale yellow oil. (2.5 g, yield; 16%)
