Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2,5-difluoro-1-bromobenzene (24.5 g, 127 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (400 ml) at −78° C. was added n-butyllithium (1.6M, 80 ml, 128 mmol). The solution was stirred for 15 minutes tert-butyl-4-formyl-piperidine-1-carboxylate (27.0 g, 127 mmol) added slowly in THF (50 ml). The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 16 hours, quenched with water (200 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 ml). The combined organics were washed with water (50 ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 3 to 10% ethyl acetate in iso hexanes to yield (RS)-tertbutyl 4-[(2,5-difluorophenyl)-hydroxymethyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless oil (14 g, 34%).
