Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL round-bottomed flask was added tert-butyl 4-(2-aminophenyl)piperidinecarboxylate (Preparation B) (1.93 g, 7.2 mmol) and 1,2-dichloroethane (50 mL). The solution was magnetically stirred under a N2 atmosphere, treated with pyridine (2.9 mL, 36 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (Aldrich) (1.1 mL, 1.7 g, 14 mmol). The vessel was immersed in a 50° C. oil bath for 6 h then cooled to 25° C. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc (200 mL) and 1 N HCl (100 mL). The organic layer was washed with satd NaHCO3 (75 mL), satd NaCl (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give a foam. The foam was purified by silica gel chromatography (3:/EtOAc:hexane) to provide the title compound as a white foam (2.1 g). MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 355 (M+1); (ESI, neg. ion) m/z: 353 (M−1). Calc'd for C17H26N2O4S: 354.47.
