Ammonium Chloride → Tert-butyl 3-hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

After tert-butyl 3-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (1 g, 5.02 mmol) was dissolved in THF (20 ml), and then trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (0.5M solution in THF, 20 ml, 10.0 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1.0M solution in THF, 10.5 ml, 10.5 mmol) were sequentially added thereto at 0° C., followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. A saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (5 ml) was added to the resulting reaction liquid, followed by stirring for 20 minutes. The resulting reaction liquid was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then MC (100 ml) was added to the residue thus obtained, followed by washing with distilled water (20 ml). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by filtration and concentration, and then the residue thus obtained was subjected to MPLC (20% EtOAc/Hexanes), to obtain 709 mg of white solid (53%).
