Water → Benzyl 1-Boc-piperidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl bromide (4.34 g, 25.4 mmol) and potassium carbonate (4.80 g, 34.7 mmol) were added to 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)nipecotic acid (5.30 g, 23.1 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. Subsequently, water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer washed sequentially with water and brine and was dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was then evaporated to give 7.11 g (96%) of the desired compound as a pale yellow oil.
