Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 30.33 mg, 0.114 mmol) and Li (56.7 mg, 8.09 mmol) in 50 mL of anhydrous THF was added dropwise a solution of (bromomethyl)cyclopropane (307.9 mg, 2.28 mmol) and tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (500 mg, 2.5 mmol) in anhydrous THF (5 mL) at −78° C. under N2. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. under N2 for 8 h. The reaction mixture was quenched by satd. NH4Cl solution at −78° C. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×2). The combined organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhy. Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (15% PE/EtOAc) afforded 262.5 mg of title compound as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CHLOROFORM-d) δ: 3.90-3.78 (m, 2H), 3.25-3.12 (m, 2H), 1.60 (dd, J=9.4, 4.3 Hz, 4H), 1.48 (s, 9H), 1.42 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 0.82-0.70 (m, 1H), 0.57-0.47 (m, 2H), 0.16-0.06 (m, 2H).
