Acetic Acid → 1-Boc-4-Piperidin-1-ylmethyl-piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1,1-dimethylethyl 4-formyl-1-piperidinecarboxylate (1.02 g, 4.78 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 mL) was added sequentially, HOAc (6.00 mL, 1M in DCM, 6.00 mmol), piperidine (1.0 mL, 10.1 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.60 g, 7.55 mmol). The reaction was stirred at rt for 2 hours at which time HOAc (1.00 mL, 1M in DCM, 1.00 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added. When complete by TLC the reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 (150 mL) and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layer was washed with H2O, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to provide the title compound (1.25 g, 4.43 mmol, 93%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 0.80-0.91 (m, 2H), 1.29-1.35 (m, 11H), 1.38-1.46 (m, 4H), 1.59 (d, J=10.6 Hz, 3H), 2.00 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 2H), 2.21 (br. s., 4H), 2.62 (br. s., 2H), 3.85 (d, J=12.6 Hz, 2H).
