Ethyl 4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate → HCID 69264426, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(2-bromophenyl)-2-{[tert-butyl(diphenyl)silyl]oxy}ethanol (step 2, 5.63 g, 12.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (36 mL) was added dropwise a 1.59 M solution of butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran (15.9 mL, 25.3 mmol) at −78° C. for 5 min and the mixture was stirred for 5 h at the same temperature. To the mixture was added dropwise a solution of ethyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (2.33 g, 13.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) at −78° C. and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at the same temperature. This resulting mixture was slowly warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 16 h at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution, and concentrated to give a yellow residue. The crude material was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, and then the organic layer washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (150 g) eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (2/1) to afford 1.76 g (26%) of the title compound as a colorless solid:
