(3RS,4RS)-4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-(3-hydroxy-naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine → tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-(4-aminomethyl-phenyl)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate

Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 1 33 mg (0.301 mmol) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-(4-cyano-phenyl)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate in 0.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was treated with 1.5 ml (1.5 mmol) of a 1M borane-tetrahydrofuran complex solution in tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was heated to reflux under argon for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between methylene chloride and water, the organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate and finally the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product (163 mg) was purified by chromatography on silica gel with a 14:1:0.1 mixture of methylene chloride, methanol and a 25% ammonia solution as the eluent. There were obtained 106 mg (79% of theory) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-(4-aminomethyl-phenyl)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless resin; MS: 447 (M+H)+.
