Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 4-acetamidopiperidine (1.82 g, 12.8 mmol) and benzyl acrylate (2.57 g, 15.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL) was stirred overnight under nitrogen and at 40° C. for 1 h. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatograph eluting with a gradient of 0% to 30% dichloromethane/methanol/NH4OH (10:1:0.1) and dichloromethane to give benzyl 3-(4-acetamidopiperidin-1-yl)propanoate as an oil (3.81 g, 98%).
