Abstract

cis-(3R,4R)-N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-4-methyl-3-(meth­ylamino)piperidine, a key intermediate for the synthesis of CP-690550 (a potent protein kinase inhibitor), is prepared via an asymmetric approach starting from ethyl 1-benzyl-3-oxopiperidine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride in an overall yield of 49%. The mild conditions and high yields obtained during the synthesis suggest a potential industrial application for this route.

Key words

asymmetric synthesis - protecting groups - piperidines - protein kinase inhibitor - deoxygenation
