Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-amino-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride (1.346 g) and triethylami-ne (2.024 g) in methylene chloride (60 ml) was added a solution of phenyl chloroformate (1.566 g) in methylene chloride (40 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours at 5° C. Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which was extracted with ethyl acetate (150 ml). The extract was washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give N-(phenoxy- carbonylamino)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2.01 g), which was recrystallized from diisopropyl ether to give the desired compound (0.732 g) as colorless needles. mp: 124°-125.5° C.
