4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-4-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (5.00 g, 24.80 mmol, 1 eq), TsCl (5.70 g, 29.80 mmol, 1.2 eq) and Et3N (10.7 mL, 74.40 mmol, 3 eq) in 100 mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2 was stirred for 8 h at room temperature. The resulted mixture was washed with brine (30 mL) and water (30 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (5:1 (v/v) PE/EtOAc) to afford the title compound as a white solid (5.50 g, 68.00%). The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data: MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 356.2 (M+1).
