4-Chloroaniline → tert-Butyl 4-{[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl}piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-BOC-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (100 g, 437 mmol), 4-chloroaniline (61.2 g, 480 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (100 g, 524 mmol) and triethylamine (182.6 mL, 1.31 mol) were dissolved in cold (10° C.) acetonitrile (1.75 L). The reaction mixture was stirred for 54 hours at room temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and then partitioned with 2N hydrochloric acid. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, re-dissolved in dichloromethane, the solution was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with ether to afford the desired compound as a white solid.
