Ethyl bromoacetate → Ethyl 3-methoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-1-piperidineacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.94 g of methyl 4-oxo-3-piperidinecarboxylate hydrochloride, 1.68 g of sodium hydrogencarbonate and 1.67 g of ethyl bromoacetate were dissolved in a mixed solvent comprising 32 ml of water and 8 ml of diethyl ether and stirred at room temperature overnight. 50 ml of ethyl acetate was added to the reaction liquid, and the organic layer was separated by liquid-liquid separation. This was dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (using a gradient eluent of chloroform to chloroform/methanol=100/1) to obtain 1.5 g of ethyl 3-methoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-1-piperidineacetate as an oily substance.
