Procedure
A mixture of 117.7 parts of ethyl 3,4,4-tri-methoxy-1-piperidinecarboxylate, 267.3 parts of potassium hydroxide and 720 parts of 2-propanol was stirred and refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated. 900 Parts of water were added to the residue and the whole was stirred in a boiling water-bath. The last traces of 2-propanol were removed by evaporation on a Rotavapor. After cooling to 10° C., the product was extracted twice with 280 parts of 1,1'-oxybisethane. The extracts were dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 62.9 parts (75.4%) of 3,4,4-trimethoxypiperidine as a residue (intermediate 65).
