Nitrogen → tert-Butyl 3,3-difluoro-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), to a solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-3,3-difluoropiperidine-1-carboxylate (177 mg, 0.57 mmol) in dry THF (5.8 mL) was added DIBAL-H (1.0 M solution in THF, 1.15 mL, 1.15 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The mixture was cooled down to 0° C., successively treated with H2O (0.23 mL) and 2N aq. NaOH (0.45 mL). The mixture was stirred at rt for 20 min, filtered through celite, washed with EA and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by FC (hept-EA, 1:1→1:2) and the title compound obtained as a colorless oil. LC-MS-conditions 08: tR=0.74 min; [M-CH3+H]+=251.34.
