Acetic Acid → tert-Butyl 4-(4-fluoroanilino)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate (1 g, 5 mmol), 4-fluoroaniline (0.56 g, 5 mmol) and acetic acid (0.26 ml, 5 mmol) in 1,2-DCE (30 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Sodium tri(acetoxy)borohydride (1.48 g, 7 mmol) was then added and stirring continued for 24 h. The reaction mixture was washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and then concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a crude solid (1.6 g). δH (CDCl3, 250 MHz) 6.88 (2H, t), 6.54 (2H, dd), 4.04 (2H, m), 3.35 (1H, m), 2.91 (2H, m), 2.02 (2H, m), 1.46 (9H, s), 1.30 (2H, m).
