(Chemical Equation Presented) Two efficient routes to 1-tert-butyl-4- chloropiperidine are described. In the first route, the key thionyl chloride mediated chlorination reaction features the use of tetrabutyl-ammonium chloride as an additive that effectively suppresses the formation of an elimination-derived side product. In the second route, a novel alternative synthesis of 1-tert-butyl-4-chloropiperidine was developed in which the tertiary butyl group on the nitrogen is efficiently generated through the addition of methylmagnesium chloride to a dimethyliminium salt in 71% overall yield.
