Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 40 g of a racemic mixture of 2-piperidine-carboxylic acid (0.310 mmol) in 300 mL of formic acid placed at 0° C. there are added, dropwise, 200 mL (2.15 mmol) of acetic anhydride. The batch is then stirred at ambient temperature overnight. Then, the reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C., hydrolysed by adding 250 mL of water, and stirred for half an hour at 0° C. before being concentrated to dryness. The oil thereby obtained is taken up in 200 mL of methanol and then concentrated to dryness. The title product is obtained in the form of an oil in a yield of 98%. It is used directly, without being otherwise purified, in the next Step.
