Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(1-(Ethoxycarbonyl)azepan-4-yl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-[4-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperidin-1-yl]azepane-1-carboxylate (1.10 g, 3.4 mmol) was dissolved in THF (60 mL) at rt and 1M LiOH sol. (10 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 5 d. The pH was carefully adjusted to pH 6 by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid, the solvents were removed in vacuo, to give 1-(1-(ethoxycarbonyl)azepan-4-yl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (1.5 g) as a viscous pale yellow oil, Intermediate 2, which was used crude in subsequent reactions.
