Water → Tert-butyl 1-[2-(benzyloxy)-2-oxoethyl]piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension (39 mL) of tert-butyl piperidine-4-carboxylate (2.6 g) in acetonitrile was added diisopropylethylamine (4.4 mL), subsequently, benzyl bromoacetate (2.0 mL) was added at room temperature in portions, and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours. To the reaction mixture was added water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. This was washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:3→0:1) to obtain the title compound (3.4 g) having the following physical property values.
