Reaction Steps

To a solution of t-butyl 4-hydroxy-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-6-carboxylate (800 mg, 3.52 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (75 ml) was added Celite (2 g), sodium acetate (0.82 g, 10 mmol) and pyridinium chlorochromate (1.1 g, 5.1 mmol). The mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 66 h. The dark suspension was diluted with ether (50 ml) and filtered through a plug of silica gel to give a light brown solution. Removal of solvent by rotary evaporation and purification by column chromatography of the residue, using a methanol/dichloromethane gradient (0-10% methanol) as eluent, gave the ketone as a pale yellow oil (770 mg, 96%).
