Dimethyl Sulfate → 1-Boc-3,4,4-trimethoxypiperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by taking tert-butyl 3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (702 mg, 0.00269 mol) in Tetrahydrofuran (10 mL, 0.1 mol) at 0° C. and adding in Potassium tert-butoxide (15 mL, 0.015 mol). The reaction was stirred for 20 min and then Dimethyl sulfate (0.56 mL, 0.006 mol) was added and the temperature raised to ambient temperature. After stirring overnight the reaction mixture was poured into water and ethyl acetate. The organic layers were separated, dried and concentrated in vacuo to afford an oil which was used as-is (424 mg, 99%) MS calculated for C13H25NO5: (M+H) 276; found 276.1.
