The reaction mixture was stirred for 45 minutes at reflux, cooled and concentrated. The residue was taken up in water (300 ml) and washed with Et2O. The aqueous phase was acidified with 1 molar HCl (166 ml) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated. The residue was crystallized from acetone/Et2O to obtain (2RS,5RS)-1-methanesulfonyl-piperidine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid 2-methyl ester (16.8 g) as a colourless solid, mp 130–133° C., MS: 206 (M+-59).
