Methyl chloroformate → 2-(3-Methoxycarbonylamino-2-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-propionic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl chloroformate (192 μL, 2.5 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-(3-amino-2-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-propionic acid ethyl ester (353 mg, 1.6 mmol) and 4-methylmorpholine (907 μL, 8.24 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL). After 15 minutes the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (20 mL) and washed with water (10 mL), and aqueous hydrogen chloride (0.5 N, 10 mL). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide 2-(3-methoxycarbonylamino-2-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-propionic acid ethyl ester (332 mg, 1.2 mmol, 75%). C12H20N2O5 calculated 272.1 observed [M+1]+ 273.0; rt=1.82 min.
