Reaction Steps

To 1.3 g of sodium methoxide in 10 ml of dimethylformamide is added a solution of 3.2 g of crude 4-[2-(5-cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetylamino]-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester in 10 ml of dimethylformamide and the reaction mixture is heated to 65° C. for 2 hours. The mixture is poured into ice water, extracted with dichloromethane, the combined organic phases dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue is subjected to column chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol 95:5) to yield 700 mg of 3-(5-cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]dec-3-en-2-one as a wax.
