Procedure

To a solution of 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (10.50 g, 45.8 mmol) in DMF (200 mL) was added potassium carbonate (6.33 g, 45.8 mmol) followed by iodomethane (3.42 mL, 55.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred under N2 at RT 3 h. The reaction was poured into 10% aqueous K2CO3 (500 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×150 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaCl (2×150 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 1-tert-butyl 4-methyl piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate (11.8 g, 48.5 mmol, 106% yield) as a light yellow oil.
