Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of nipecotic acid (10 g, 63.6 mmol) in 1 N NaOH (2.5 g in 64 mL water, 63.6 mmol) at 0° C. was alternately added benzyloxycarbonyl chloride (10.9 mL, 76.5 mmol) in diethyl ether (50 mL) and 1 N NaOH (5 g in 128 mL water, 127.2 mmol) in five portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h, and at ambient temperature for 24 h. Then this was made acidic with 10% HCl and the solid formed was filtered and dried (vacuum oven, 45° C.) to obtain the title compound (18.9 g, 113%). MS (ESI) m/e 264 (M+H)+.
