Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(benzyloxy)-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (212 g, 0.69 mol) in THF (1000 mL) was added (2S,5S)-1-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-hydroxypiperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (171 g, 0.63 mol) and PPh3 (275 g, 1.05 mol), followed by dropwise addition of a solution of DEAD (195 g, 1.12 mol) in THF (500 mL). The mixture was then stirred at 20° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuum and purified by silica gel column chromatography (3:1 petroleum ether/EtOAc) to afford (2S,5R)-1-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-(N-(benzyloxy)-2-nitrophenylsulfonamido)piperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (283.8 g, 80%) as a yellow oil.
