Reaction Steps

900 mg (2.7 mmole) of N,N-dimethyl-1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxamide (prepared as described in Preparation 1) were dissolved in 10 ml of ethyl acetate, and 5 ml of a 4 N solution of hydrogen chloride in dioxane were added, whilst ice-cooling. The mixture was then stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. At the end of this time, the crystals which had deposited were collected by filtration, to give 690 mg (yield 95%) of the title compound as white crystals.
