Tetrahydrofuran → Tert-butyl 4-(4-{[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-2-methoxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl 4-(4-amino-2-methoxy-phenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (Preparation Example 413) (4.25 g) and THF (100 mL), sodium hydrogen carbonate (1.28 g) and water (30 mL) were added, followed by dropwise addition of benzyl chloroformate (1.98 mL) under ice cooling and stirring overnight. After addition of water and extraction with ethyl acetate, the extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give tert-butyl 4-(4-{[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-2-methoxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (4.92 g) as a colorless amorphous.
