Tert-butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate → HCID 67512170, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diazophenylacetic acid ethyl ester (2.55 g) in 1,2-dichloroethane is added 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.4 g). The flask is evacuated and filled with argon. Rhodium(II) acetate-dimer (60 mg) is added to the reaction mixture. Evolution of nitrogen occurs until the end of the reaction (about 1 hour). The solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by chromatography (gradient heptane/ethyl acetate from 95/5 to 80/20) to give 4-(ethoxy-carbonylphenylmethoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
