Thereafter, a solution of 17.7 ml (20.0 g 140.9 mmol) of boron trifluoride etherate in 11 ml of DME was added dropwise at 15-20° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Subsequently, a solution of 18.3 g (326 mmol) of potassium hydroxide in 100 ml of water was added dropwise within 30 minutes at 20-25° C. Finally, 55 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide solution were added dropwise within 30 minutes at 20-25° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and heated to reflux for 3 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture the separated boric acid was filtered off. Subsequently, the filtrate was partitioned between methylene chloride and water, the organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel with a 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and methylene chloride as the eluent. There were obtained 6.3 g (63% of theory) of (3RS,4RS)-1-benzyl-4-(3-bromophenyl)-piperidin-3-ol as a colourless oil. MS: 345, 347 (M)+.
