Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a RT solution of 1-boc-4-hydroxypiperidine (1.20 g, 5.96 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added sodium hydride dispersion in mineral oil (0.440 g, 11.00 mmol, 57%), in portions, as a solid. After 30 min propargyl bromide, 80% solution in toluene (1.80 mL, 16.16 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe and the reaction was allowed to stir for 2 h. The reaction was cooled to 0° C., quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, evaporated onto silica gel and purified by flash chromatography (Isco (80 gram)) eluting with (EtOAc):hexanes (0:1→1:1) to give the titled compound as a colorless oil (861 mg, 60%). MS m/z=183.9 [M−tBu]+. Calculated for C9H12NO3: 182
