Water → Tert-butyl 4-(methylsulfonyloxymethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (2.5 g) in dichloromethane (40 ml), triethylamine (2.8 ml) and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.2 ml) were added under ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution to separate two layers. Then, the aqueous layer was subjected to extraction with chloroform. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated saline and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (2.8 g).
