Dimethylformamide → 1-benzyl 3-methyl (3R,4S)-4-[4-(4-cyano-2-methylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]carbonylpiperidine-1,3-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of (3R,4S)-piperidine-1,3,4-tricarboxylic acid 1-benzyl ester 3-methyl ester (0.554 g, 0.00172 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8.500 mL, 0.1098 mol) was added 3-methyl-4-piperazin-1-ylbenzonitrile dihydrochloride (0.6146 g, 0.002241 mol), (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (1.017 g, 0.001896 mol), and, N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.509 mL, 0.008620 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temp. Reaction quenched with KH2PO4 (sat solution). Layers separated and aq layer extracted with ethyl acetate 3×. Organic layers were washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by Combiflash with 40-70% EtOAc/Hex to give the product (75% in yield). MS (ESI): (M+H)+=505.
