Acetyl chloride → tert-Butyl 4-[acetyl(methyl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methylamino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (616 mg, 2.9 mmol) in CH2 Cl2 (25 ml), was added acetyl chloride (215 μl, 3.02 mmol, 1.05 eq.) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 16 hrs. The crude reaction mixture was extracted with CH2 Cl2 (2×50 ml) and washed with water (10 ml) and with brine (10 ml). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the expected 4-(Acetyl-methyl-amino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (708 mg, 96% yield).
