Toluene → Tert-butyl 4-(1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-ol, triethylamine, benzenesulfonyl chloride, and methylene chloride was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 days to yield 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-yl benzenesulfonate. A mixture of 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-yl benzenesulfonate obtained, diethyl malonate, 20% NaOEt-EtOH, and EtOH was heated under reflux with stirring for 22 hours to yield diethyl[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl]malonate. A mixture of diethyl [1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl]malonate obtained, lithium borohydride, toluene, and THF was stirred at 60° C. for 18 hours to yield 2-(1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-yl)propane-1,3-diol, which was stirred together with 4M HCl-dioxane solution in MeOH at ambient temperature for 1 hour to yield 2-piperidin-4-ylpropane-1,3-diol hydrochloride.
