Reaction Steps

In an analogous manner to that described in Example 22 (h), by reacting tert-butyl (3RS,4RS,5SR)-4-[4-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-phenyl]-3-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-piperidine-1-carboxylate with triphenylchloromethane in pyridine there was obtained tert-butyl (3RS,4RS,5SR)-4-[4-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-phenyl]-3-hydroxy-5-trityloxymethyl-piperidine-1-carboxylate, [MS: 731 (M+NH4)+ ], as a colourless foam, alkylation of which with 2-bromomethyl-naphthalene analogously to Example 62 (h) gave tert-butyl (3RS,4RS,5SR)-4-[4-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-phenyl]-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-5-trityloxymethyl-piperidine-1-carboxylate, [MS: 871 (M+NH4)+ ], as a colourless foam. Subsequent selective cleavage of the trityl group by means of a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride in methylene chloride analogously to Example 86 (u) yielded tert-butyl (3SR,4RS,5RS)-4-[4-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-phenyl]-3-hydroxymethyl-5-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless solid; MS: 612 (M+H)+. Subsequent alkylation with methyl iodide analogously to Example 62 (h) gave tert-butyl (3SR,4RS,5RS)-4-[4-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-phenyl]-3-methoxymethyl-5-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless solid; MS: 626 (M+H)+.
