tert-Butyl 1-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylate

Abstract

The title compound, C10H19NO3, is a disubstituted piperidine bearing substituents in two equatorial positions. One of the substituents is a hydroxy group bound to nitrogen and the second a tert-butyl ester group bound to the carbon next to the endocyclic nitrogen. Enantiomers of the title compound form hydrogen-bridged dimers across a center of inversion.
