Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl 3-ethyl 3-(2-oxoethyl)piperidine-1,3-dicarboxylate (1.0 g, 0.0030 mol, prepared by using procedures analogous to those described for the synthesis of example 1, steps 1 and 2), trans-4-aminocyclohexanol hydrochloride (0.50 g, 0.0033 mol), and triethylamine (0.48 g, 0.0048 mol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (8 mL, 0.1 mol) was stirred at rt for 30 min. To the mixture was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.6 g, 0.0075 mol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. The reaction mixture then was warmed to 80° C. with stirring for 16 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and the solution was washed with 1N HCl, water, brine, and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated in-vacuo and the resulting residue was purified by flash column chromatography to afford 1.04 g of the desired product. Further purification by chiral HPLC was carried out (Chiralcel OD-H column (3.0×25 cm, 5 micron particle size, Chiral Technologies; Item number 14475) eluting with 15% ethanol/hexanes (isocratic, 26 mL/min.); Detection: 220 nm; retention time: 10.0 minute for peak 1, 12.5 minute for peak 2). The first peak to elute was found to be the R configuration and the second peak was found to be the S configuration and used for analog synthesis. LC-MS: 387.3 (M+H)+.
