Reaction Steps

0.1 g of the cis/trans mixture of ethyl 4-(p-fluorophenyl)-6-oxo-3-piperidinecarboxylate obtained in Examples 4 to 6 was added to 10 mL of toluene, and 26 mg of sodium ethoxide was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 90° C. for 5 hours, then poured into ice water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried and concentrated to obtain 50 mg of ethyl trans-4-(p-fluorophenyl)-6-oxo-3-piperidinecarboxylate.
