Benzyl chloroformate → 1-Benzyl 3-ethyl 4-oxopiperidine-1,3-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was run in the same manner as ethyl 1-benzoyl-3-piperidinecarboxylate, starting with commercially available ethyl 4-piperidone-3-carboxylate hydrochloride (203.2 mg; 0.98 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (360 μl; 2.08 mmol), and benzyl chloroformate (141 μl; 0.99 mmol). The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 15% ethyl acetate in hexane, giving ethyl 1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-oxo-3-piperidinecarboxylate (185.5 mg) as a colorless oil. MS m/z (positive ion) 323 (M+NH4+; 75), 306 (MH+; 100), 262 (50).
