Piperidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butylamide → 1-[3(S)-(benzyloxyformamido)-2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyl]-N-tert.butyl-2(S)-piperidinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.576 g of N-tert.butyl-2(S)-piperidinecarboxamide and 4.158 g of 3(S)-(benzyloxyformamido)-1,2(S)-epoxy-4-phenylbutane in 70 ml of ethanol was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue was dissolved in 100 ml of diethyl ether and treated with 10 g of activated magnesium silicate. The solvent was then removed by evaporation and there were obtained 6.16 g of 1-[3(S)-(benzyloxyformamido)-2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyl]-N-tert.butyl-2(S)-piperidinecarboxamide as a colourless glass; MS: m/e 482 [M+H]+.
