Triethylamine → 3-(Benzyloxycarbonylaminomethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic Acid Tert-butyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-aminomethylpiperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.20 g, 10.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) was treated with triethylamine (1.90 mL, 13.3 mmol) and stirred on an ice bath. A solution of benzyl chloroformate (1.90 mL, 13.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added over 5 minutes. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 70 hours. It was washed with 0.1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum to provide a colorless gum (3.58 g, quantitative) which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.37 (m, 5H), 5.11 (s, 2H), 3.75 (m, 2H), 3.18 (m, 1H), 3.05 (m, 2H), 2.83 (m, 1H), 1.9-1.6 (m, 4H), 1.46 (s, 9H), 1.27 (m, 1H).
