Pyridine → tert-Butyl (1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of O-tert-butyl N-(piperidin-4-yl)carbamate (4.0 g) in dichloromethane (40 ml) were added pyridine (1.94 ml), dichloromethane (40 ml), acetic anhydride (20.8 ml) and then N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (0.1 g) at ambient temperature. After stirring for 3 hours, the mixture was washed with 0.1N hydrochloric acid, water, and brine. After drying with magnesium sulfate, the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. After rinse with diisopropyl ether, O-tert-butyl N-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)carbamate (4.01 g) was obtained.
