Sodium Hydroxide → 1-(Cyclopropylcarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (6.3 g) obtained in step 4 in ethanol (30 mL) was added 4N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (35 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 22 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and made acidic with 6N hydrochloric acid. The resultant product was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with brine and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (5.21 g, 95%) as a pale yellow powder.
