Water → 1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-4-(methanesulfonyloxy)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (2.5 g, mmol) and triethylamine (2.1 mL, 15 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (30 mL). To the solution was added a solution of methanesulfonyl chloride (1.2 mL, 15 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL), followed by stirring for hours, while the temperature was raised to room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water (50 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, followed by liquid separation. The organic layer was washed successively with 0.50 mol/L hydrochloric acid (40 mL×2) and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate (10 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue was added a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and hexane (15 mL, ethyl acetate/hexane=1/2), and the precipitated solid was filtered to obtain tert-butyl 4-(methylsulfonyloxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate (3.1 g, 90%).
