Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of NaH (2.24 g, 93.4 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and as solution of (S)-diethyl 3,3′-((1-phenylethyl)azanediyl)dipropanoate (15 g, 46.7 mmol) in THF was then added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and then warmed to 60° C. and heated for 3 h. The mixture was diluted with water and EtOAc and the organic layer was then separated, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by FCC (5-7% EtOAc/hexanes) to give (5)-ethyl 4-oxo-1-((S)-1-phenylethyl)piperidine-3-carboxylate.
