Triethylamine → cis-Tert-butyl 3-(dimethylcarbamoyl)-4-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cis-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-methylpiperidine-3-carboxylic acid (prepared by N-Boc protection of cis-4-methylpiperidine-3-carboxylic acid, synthesized by the method described in Bulletin de la Societe Chimique de France 1986, 4, 663-8.) (0.4 g, 1.64 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran were added triethylamine (0.2 mL, 1.64 mmol), dimethylamine hydrochloride (132 mg, 1.64 mmol), and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI, 265 mg, 1.64 mmol). After 2 h, the mixture was quenched with water and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford cis-tert-butyl 3-(dimethylcarbamoyl)-4-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (0.3 g, 68%) as a yellow solid. The material was used without further purification.
