Synthesis of [(3S,5R)-3-Hydroxy-5-methylpiperidin-1-yl](2-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanone
2020
There remain challenges for effectively synthesizing heterocycles containing
both piperidine and pyridine rings, mainly due to the inefficient synthetic
process mostly requiring long reaction times. This paper reports a simple and
efficient method for the synthesis of [(3S,5R)-3-hydroxy-5-methylpiperidin-1-yl](2-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanone
through six steps starting from D-pyroglutaminol. The key step involved the
introduction of a chiral methyl group by alkylation of lithiated (3S,7aR)-3-phenyltetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-c]oxazol-5(3H)-one with
methyl iodide, followed by reduction and rearrangement to generate a
benzyl-protected piperidine intermediate. After deprotection and amide
formation, the final product was obtained with an overall yield of 32% in a
total time of ~80 h). With readily available and inexpensive starting material
through an operationally simple process, the method holds potential for
applications in organic synthesis of other piperidine- and pyridine-containing
heterocycles.
