Pyrrolidine → cis-Tert-butyl 2-methyl-5-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

O-(7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′,-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) (7.50 g, 19.72 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (7.08 mL, 39.45 mmol) and pyrrolidine (1.40 g, 19.72 mmol) were added to a solution of cis-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-6-methylpiperidine-3-carboxylic acid (synthesized by N-Boc protection of cis-6-methylpiperidine-3-carboxylic acid, analogously prepared by the method described in J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 1871-1895.) (4.0 g, 16.44 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (40 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford cis-tert-butyl 2-methyl-5-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (4.0 g). The material was used without further purification.
