Triethylamine → 1-Benzyloxycarbonyl-3-piperidone

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-piperidone (12 mmol) in 200 mL of methylene chloride. is added triethylamine (18 mmol) in a single portion at room temperature and the reaction mixture cooled to 0° C. Benzyl chloroformate (12 mmol) is added dropwise via addition funnel and the reaction mixture allowed to warm to room temperature. Stirring is continued for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with 1N hydrochloric acid (3×100 mL), water and brine. The organic layer is worked up to provide N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-3-piperidone.
