Participants

Reaction Steps

8-(Pyridin-4-yl)-1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane (7.0 g, 31.8 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was dissolved at 0° C. in conc. HCl (42 ml) and stirred for 14 hours at RT. After monitoring by TLC, the reaction solution was rendered alkaline with 2 M NaOH solution and extracted with chloroform (250 ml). The org. phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Yield: 80% (4.5 g, 25.56 mmol)
