Procedure

Add sodium borohydride (0.105 g, 2.77 mmol) to a solution of sodium hydroxide (0.053 g, 1.33 mmol) in deionized water (2 mL) and add, by dropwise addition, to a solution of 4-[4-(4-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1-piperidinyl)-1-oxobutyl]-α,α-dimethylbenzeneacetic acid hydrochloride (0.70 g, 1.31 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL). Stir at room temperature for 3.5 hours at pH 7-8. Evaporate the solvent in vacuo and stir the residue with methylene chloride (15 mL) and deionized water (15 mL). Dry (MgSO4), acidify to pH 3 with gaseous hydrogen chloride and evaporate the solvent. Add ether with stirring, filter the white solid and wash with additional ether. Dry to give the title compound.
