Diisopropylethylamine → 4-[4-Phenyl-1-(3-phenyl-propyl)-butylcarbamoyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (4.00 g; 17.4 mmol) is dissolved in methylene chloride (125 mL) at ambient temperature. 1,7-Diphenyl-4-aminoheptane hydrochloride (1) (6.36 g; 20.9 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (7.27 g; 55.8 mmol), and PyBOP (10.89 g; 20.9 mmol) are added sequentially. The mixture is stirred for 14 hours at ambient temperature then concentrated in vacuo at 40° C. The residue is purified via silica gel chromatography with gradient elution (20%→40% ethyl acetate in hexanes) affording the desired product as an oil.
