Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-oxopiperidine-1,3-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 3-methyl ester (2.57 g, 10 mmol), benzylamine (1.20 mL, 11 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid hydrate (19 mg, 0.1 mmol) in toluene (40 mL) was heated at reflux under a Dean-Stark trap for 22.75 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under vacuum to provide a yellow gummy solid (3.86 g), used without further purification. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ9.25 (bt, J=6 Hz, 1H), 7.4-7.1 (m, 5H), 4.42 (d, J=6 Hz, 2H), 4.11 (s, 2H), 3.71 (s, 3H), 3.49 (t, 2H), 2.38 (m, 2H), 1.48 (s, 9H).
