Triphenylphosphine → (R)-tert-butyl 3-((R)-(2-aminoethoxy)(3-chlorophenyl)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-tert-Butyl 3-((R)-(2-azidoethoxy)(3-chlorophenyl)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (13.3 g, 33.8 mmol) in THF/H2O (20:1, 180 mL/9 mL), triphenylphosphane (36.0 g, 135 mmol) was added in portions. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford a residue, which was purified on silica gel chromatography to provide (R)-tert-butyl 3-((R)-(2-aminoethoxy)(3-chlorophenyl)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (10.4 g, purity: HPLC=75%).
