Triphenylphosphine → Tert-butyl 4-[(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)oxy]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (11 ml, 40% Tol solution) was dropwise added to a THF (30 ml) solution containing tert-butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (4.6 g), triphenylphosphine (6.1 g) and 6-chloro-2-pyridinol (2.0 g) at 0° C., followed by stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous 1 M sodium hydroxide solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane:EtOAc=10:1 (v/v)) to obtain tert-butyl 4-[(6-chloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]-1-piperidinecarboxylate (3.8 g).
