1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → [(S)-1-(4-Fluoro-benzyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-piperidin-1-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of Boc-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-(S)-alanine (10.0 g, 35.3 mmol), 4-hydroxypiperidine hydrochloride (5.1 g, 37.1 mmol) and HOBt (7.2 g, 52.9 mmol) in DMF (100 mL), was added DIPEA (12.3 mL, 70.6 mmol) and after 5 min, EDCI (7.4 g, 38.8 mmol) and the reaction stirred at rt for 16 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue partitioned between water (150 mL) and ethyl acetate (2×150 mL). The combined organic fractions were washed with sodium hydroxide solution (2M, 50 mL), hydrochloric acid (2N, 50 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The product was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate to give the title compound as a white solid. m/z (ES+)=367 [M+H]+; RT=3.28 min.
