Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(hh) (α) A solution of 5 mg (0.04 mmol) of potassium bromide and 20 mg (0.24 mmol) of sodium hydrogen carbonate in 10 ml of water was added at room temperature and while stirring to a solution of 0.270 g (0.58 mmol) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-phenyl]-3-naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy-piperidine-1-carboxylate [Example 29(h)] in 10 ml of methylene chloride under argon. The V reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and treated with 2 mg (0.01 mmol) of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl (TEMPO). Then, 1 ml (0.658 mmol) of Javelle water was sprayed into the reaction mixture while stirring continuously. After the addition the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for about 30 minutes. For the working-up, 20 ml of a 1:1 mixture of methylene chloride and water were added, the reaction mixture was washed with 10 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with 10 ml of methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with a 2:1 mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as the eluent. There were obtained 200 mg (75% of theory) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-4-[4-(2-oxo-ethyl)-phenyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a foam; MS: 460 (M+H)+.
