Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 500-mL 4-necked round-bottom flask was charged with a solution of NaOH (8 g, 198.00 mmol, 1.00 equiv, 99%) in H2O (200 mL). To this was added piperidine-3-carboxylic acid (25.8 g, 197.75 mmol, 1.00 equiv, 99%), in small portions at 0° C. Then, a solution of benzyl carbonochloridate (39.2 g, 227.48 mmol, 1.15 equiv, 99%) in Et2O (50 mL) was added at 0° C. over 40 minutes. Then a solution of NaOH (12 g, 1.50 equiv) in H2O (300 mL) was added drop wise with stirring at 0-10° C. The resulting solution was allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC (EtOAc/PE=1/1). The pH adjusted to 3 with 10% aqueous HCl. The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×500 mL). Combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated on a rotary evaporator to afford 1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid (58 g) as white solid.
