Reaction Steps

4-Trimethylsilyloxy-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (13.2 g, 48.6 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (250 mL). 1-Chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate) (19.0 g, 53.5 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Brine was added to the reaction mixture and the aqueous phase extracted ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 100 g, 0% to 100% EtOAc in heptane). The title compound was obtained as white solid (5.66 g, 53%).
