tert-Butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate → 1,1-Dimethylethyl 4-{[4-fluoro-3-(methyloxy)phenyl]amino}-1-piperidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate (1.41 g, 7.1 mmol) and 4-fluoro-3-methoxyaniline (1 g, 7.1 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Sodium tri(acetoxy)borohydride (1.95 g, 9.2 mmol) was then added and stirring continued over-weekend. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM, washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, dried and then concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography eluting with 0-50% Et2O/petroleum ether gave the title compound as a white solid (1.45 g). δH (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 6.89 (1H, dd), 6.22 (1H, dd), 6.09 (1H, m), 4.03 (2H, br s), 3.84 (3H, s), 3.36 (1H, br s), 2.92 (2H, m), 2.03 (2H, m), 1.46 (9H, s), 1.32 (2H, m).
