Procedure
A solution of ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate (16.5 g, 98.1 mmol) and piperidin-4-ol (10.0 g, 98.8 mmol) in DMSO (20 mL) was heated at 120° C. under nitrogen for 48 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into water (400 mL), and the solids were filtered off, washed with water, followed by hexane, to afford ethyl 4-(4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)benzoate (20.0 g, 82%).
