Methanesulfonyl chloride → tert-Butyl 3-(((methylsulfonyl)oxy)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxymethyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (9.41 g, 0.048 mol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) at room temperature was added iPr2NEt (14.1 g, 0.110 mol), followed by MsCl (5.5 g, 0.048 mol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for one hour before concentrating and purifying the resulting residue by silica gel chromatography (1:1 hexane:ethyl acetate). The desired compound was obtained as an oil (11.06 g, 86%).
