Benzyl chloroformate → 1-Boc-4-Cbz-amino-piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-aminopiperidine-1-carboxylate (10 g, 49.9 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (26 ml, 149 mmol), benzyl chloroformate (8.5 ml, 59.5 mmol) and dichloromethane (dehydrated) (300 ml) were mixed under ice-cooling. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. An aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with dichloromethane three times. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (silica gel, elution solvent: ethyl acetate/heptane) to give the title compound (13.1 g, yield 78.5%).
