Reaction Steps

3-Hydroxypiperidine (3.0 g, 30.0 mmol) was dissolved in THF (40 mL) and methylene chloride (40 mL). Triethylamine (7.47 g, 74.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was cooled to −78° C. and acetyl chloride (2.35 g, 30.0 mmol) was added drop wise. The mixture was warmed to r.t. and stirred under nitrogen for 1 about an hour. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting oil was purified using silica chromatography (2% methanol in ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound (3.57 g, 83%) as an oil.
