4-Chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride → tert-Butyl 4-[(4-chlorobenzenesulphonylamino)methyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.844 g (4 mmol) of 4-chlorobenzenesulphonyl chloride in 5 ml of dichloromethane is added dropwise to a solution of 0.857 g (4 mmol) of tert-butyl 4-(aminomethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, 0.99 ml (6 mmol) of diisopropylethylamine and 0.024 g (0.2 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in 9 ml of dichloromethane. The mixture is stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The organic phase is washed with 10 ml of water and then 4 ml of a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, 2 times 14 ml of water, 2 times 14 ml of a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, 3 times 14 ml of water and 14 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. It is dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness in order to obtain 1.371 g (3.52 mmol) of product in the form of an orange paste used as is in the following stage.
